Loyola  College  Baltimore,  Maryland 

May  11.  1984 

1985  mid  term  holiday  undecided 


posal  to  change  spring  break 
from  the  week  before  Easter 
to  the  week  after  Easter. 

The  Council  entered  the 
proposal  into  new  business  so 
that  a decision  could  be 
made. 

The  Council’s  discussion 
centered  around  a proposal 
submitted  by  Dora  Bankins, 
president  of  the  ASLC.  Her 
proposal  offered  an  alter- 
native to  the  spring  calendar 
created  by  McGuire. 

McGuire’s  calendar  would 
have  spring  term  classes 
beginning  on  Wednesday, 
January  30,  1985  with  no 
break  until  the  spring  break  at 
Easter. 

Spring  break,  as  proposed 
by  McGuire,  would  begin 
after  classes  end  on  Tuesday, 
April  2,  1985  and  would 
resume  Wednesday,  April 
10. 

The  propsal  made  by 
Bankins  would  have  spring 
classes  beginning  Monday, 
January  28.  A mid-term  holi- 
day would  be  scheduled  for 
Friday,  March  15;  spring 
break  would  begin  with  the

Yesterday’s  meeting  of  the 
College  Council  discussed  the 
probability  of  changing  spring 
break.  The  decision  reached 
by  the  council  was  to  present 
the  Associated  Students  of 
Loyola  College’s  proposal  to 
Dean  Francis  McGuire  as  a 


friendly  amendment  for  him 
to  consider. 

McGuire,  who  sets  the 
academic  calendar,  will  bring 
his  decision  before  the  council 
in  mid -June. 

In  his  Chairman’s  Report, 
Tom  Scheye,  academic  vice- 
president  of  Loyola, 
presented  the  ASLC’s  pro- 


Dean  Francis  McGuire  will  take  into  consideration  the 
alternate  calendar  proposed  by  ASLC. 


Budgets  approved, 

Tri  Beta  denied  funds 


by  Linda  J.  Hallmen  ~ 

The  club  budgets  for 
1984-85  were  revised  and 
approved  Monday  by  the 
Associated  Students  of 
Loyola  College  Ad- 
ministrative Council. 

Revisions  offered  by  the 
Appropriations  Committee 
were  increased  in  the 
budgets  of  The  Gre[;hound, 
the  Men’s  Crew  Club,  the 
Sailing  Club  and  the  Scuba 
Club;  new  funding  of  the 
Adam  Smith  Society,  the 
Computer  Club,  the 
Psychology  Club  and  the 
Belles;  and  the  change  of 
Eta  Sigma  Phi  to  the 
Classics  Society  and  its 
subsequent  funding. 

Danny  Szparaga,  ASLC 
treasurer,  said  that  it  is  not 
the  policy  of  ASLC  to  fund 
honor  societies.  Eta  Sigma 
Phi  changed  its  charter  and 
became  the  Classics  Socie- 
ty in  order  to  be  funded  by 
ASLC. 

Tri  Beta  is  a chapter  of 
the  national  honor  society 
and  has  not  been  granted 
funding  by  ASLC.  Szparaga 
said  that  Tri  Beta  is  ex- 


clusive because  member- 
ship requirements  are  a 
minimum  3.0  GPA  and  tak- 
ing three  biology  courses. 

Patricia  Beck,  Tri  Beta’s 
president,  said  this  require- 
ment applies  to  only  the  ac- 
tive membership,  one  of 
four  categories  of  member- 
ships in  the  club. 

The  other  three 
categories  with  an  interest 
in  the  natural  sciences; 
graduate,  for  alumni  of  Tri 
Beta;  and  honorary,  mainly 
used  for  teachers. 

There  are  approximately 
250  members  in  Tri  Beta. 
The  active  membership 
constitutes  an  honor  society 
within  the  club. 

“Association  with  an 
honor  society  makes  us  ex- 
clusive,” Beck  said. 

She  said  that  it  was  sug- 
gested that  Tri  Beta  split  in- 
to an  honor  society  and  a 
club  in  order  to  get  funding. 
She  doesn’t  want  to  split 
because  it  would  cause  fric- 
tion between  members,  and 
there  would  be  two  sets  of 
officers  in  the  club. 

Beck  said  that  the  club  is 


submitting  a funding  re- 
quest to  the  Cultural  Ser- 
vices Committee  in  the  ad- 
ministrative student  affairs 
office.  The  club  will  know  in 
September  if  the  committee 
will  fund  it. 

Tri  Beta  sponsors  ac- 
tivities such  as  tutoring  in 
the  areas  of  biology, 
chemistry,  speech 

pathology,  medical 
technology  and  calculus. 
The  club  sponsors  the 
Health  Science  Fair  each 
spring  for  anyone  interested 
in  careers  in  the  health 
fields. 

Next  year,  Tri  Beta  hopes 
to  sponsor  a series  of  lec- 
tures on  biology  issues,  with 
a stress  on  bioethics. 

Beck  stressed  that  the  ac- 
tivities are  open  to  anyone 
who  wished  to  attend.  The 
restrictions  in  the  Tri  Beta 
national  constitution  are 
that  only  active  members 
can  hold  office  and  wear  the 
insignia  of  Tri  Beta . 

Because  of  a “few 
technicalities,”  Beck  said, 
the  club  will  not  be  funded. 

“It  doesn’t  make  a whole 
lot  of  sense  to  me,”  she  said. 


close  of  classes  on  April  3. 
Classes  would  resume  on 
Monday,  April  15. 

The  difference  in  the  two 
proposals  centers  around  the 
number  of  class  days,  with  70 
class  days  in  McGuire’s  and 
69  in  Bankins’. 

McGuire’s  proposal  would 
allow  for  a 4-day  weekend  at 
the  end  of  January  and  a 
7-day  spring  break  before 
Easter. 

Under  the  proposal  submit- 
ted by  Bankins,  there  would 
be  two  additional  class  days  in 
January,  an  extended  spring 
break  after  Easter  from  7 to 
11  days  and  a 3-day  mid- 
term holiday. 

David  Roswell,  dean  of  the 
College  of  Arts  and  Sciences, 
saw  a problem  with  each  pro- 
posal. 

With  the  ASLC's  proposal, 
the  number  of  Friday  classes 
may  interfere  with  occasional 
Friday  labs. 

With  McGuire’s  proposal, 
he  said  that  in  the  past  “to 
give  no  (mid-term)  break,  we 
ran  into  violent  opposition.” 

English  Department 


Chairperson  Carol 

Abromaitis,  who  was  in  sup- 
port of  the  ASLC’s  proposal, 
said,  “The  faculty  has  made  it 
clear.  It  considers  this  calen- 
dar to  be  burdensome.  There 
has  been  an  increase  in  the 
number  of  (class)  days  since 
the  start  of  4-1-4.” 

Abromaitis  said  that  she  felt 
the  increase  in  the  number  of 
class  days  was  an  undermin- 
ing of  4-1-4  so  that  the  faculty 
will  roll  over  and  say  let’s  go 
back  to  5-5. 

Why  did  70  become  the 
magic  number  of  days?” 

She  also  felt  that  the 
philosophy  of  the  calendar 
should  be  addressed. 

McGuire  stated  that 
Loyola’s  calendar  is  set  in 
agreement  with  Notre 
Dame’s,  and  that  the  faculty 
may  object  to  only  a 2 day 
break  after  Jan  term. 

Associate  Professor  of 
Psychology  Alan  Plotkin  gave 
his  support  to  the  ASLC.  He 
said  he  didn’t  think  a 2-day 
break  at  the  end  of  January 
would  create  a problem.

Jennings  was  named  his 
current  post  at  ABC  News 
and  the  foreign  desk  anchor, 
based  in  London,  for  World 
News  Tonight. 

Jennings  has  been  a jour- 
nalist for  more  than  25  years 
and  has  led  ABC’s  coverage 
of  all  major  international  news 
developments  in  recent 
history,  including  the  Israelis 
invasion  of  Lebanon,  the 
Falkland  Islands  War,  Pope 
John  Paul  IPs  trip  to  Poland, 
the  U.S.  Embassy  bombing  in 
Beirut  and  the  Iran  hostage 
crisis. 

From  Iran,  Jennings 
covered  the  fall  of  the  Shah 
and  the  early  stages  of  the 
U.S.  Embassy  takeover 


following  the  return  of  the 
Ayatollah  Khomeini.  He  con- 
tinued coverage  of  the 
444-day  hostage  crisis  until 
the  Americans  were  freed.  He 
gave  the  first  news  of  their 
release  on  January  20,  1981 
and  reported  from  Frankfurt, 
West  Germany  on  their  ar- 
rival there. 

Jenning  originally  joined 
ABC  News  in  1964  as  a cor- 
respondent based  in  New 
York.  He  was  Anchor  of 
Peter  Jennings  With  the  News 
between  1965  and  1967,  and 
was  national  correspondent 
on  domestic  stories  from 
1967  to  1969. 

In  1969,  he  moved  to 
Beirut  and  helped  establish 


the  first  American  television 
news  bureau  in  the  Arab 
world.  In  Beirut,  he  con- 
ducted the  first  full-lenth  inter- 
view with  Yasir  Arafat,  PLO 
leader,  on  American  televi- 
sion. 

Jennings  has  received 
many  prestigious  award  for 
news  reporting,  including  the 
George  Foster  Peabody 
Award  for  a 1974  documen- 
tary on  Anwar  Sadat;  several 
Overseas  Press  Club  Awards 
for  coverage  of  such  events  as 
the  Falkland  Islands  War  and 
the  assassination  of  President 
Sadat;  and  a National 
Headlines  Award  for  his 
reporting  on  the  Bangladesh 
conflict.

THE  GREYHOUND.  May  11,  1984 


College  Council  rules  on  course  procedure 


by  Colleen  Lilly 


The  College  Council  make 
changes  in  the  policies  con- 
cerning academic  standing, 
probation  and  dismissal. 
Policy  changes  were  made  in 
repeating  or  replacing  a 
course  and  in  withdrawing 
from  a course.  These  changes 
will  appear  in  the  college 
catalog  of  1984-85. 

A motion  carried  to  accept 
a change  in  the  Quality  Point 
Average  (QPA)  for 
sophomores  and  freshmen. 

Sophomores  must  have  a 
cumulative  QPA  of  2.00  by 
the  end  of  the  first  semester. 
Those  students  having  a 
cumulative  QPA  between 
1.99  and  1.80  will  be  placed 
on  academic  probation;  those 
with  a cumulative  QPA  of  less 
than  1.80  at  the  end  of  any 
semester  will  be  dismissed 
from  Loyola. 

Freshmen  must  have  a 
cumulative  QPA  of  1.80  at 
the  end  of  the  freshman  year. 
If  their  cumulative  QPA  is  be- 
tween 1.79  and  1.60,  they 
will  be  placed  on  academic 
probation  and  required  to 
raise  their  cumulative  QPA  to 
2.00  at  the  end  of  the  first 
semester  of  sophomore  year. 
Students  with  a 1.60 


cumulative  QPA  or  less  will 
be  dismissed. 

The  policy  for  juniors  and 
seniors  will  be  the  same  as 
that  of  sophomores.  They  will 
be  required  to  have  a 
minimum  cumulative  QPA  of 
2.00  to  graduate. 

Students  will  not  be  permit- 
ted to  remain  on  academic 
probation  for  more  than  one 


Tom  Scheye,  academic 
vice  president  of  Loyola,  said, 
“We  want  students  to  get 
serious  earlier  in  their  career. 
This  will  put  students  on 
notice  early  on.” 

The  Council  made  addi- 
tions to  the  current  re- 
quirements for  repeating  and 
replacing  courses. 

Any  course  may  be 
repeated;  yet,  courses  taken 
and  failed  at  Loyola  have  to 
be  repeated  at  Loyola. 


According  to  the  proposal, 
“Effective  with  the  Fall  Term 
1984,  all  grades  for  a 
repeated  course  will  be  in- 
cluded in  the  computation  of 
the  QPA.” 

Presently,  if  a course  is 
repeated  both  grades  appear 
on  a student’s  transcript,  but 
only  the  repeated  grade  is 
computed  into  a studenfs 


“Students  changing  majors 
will,  however,  find  that  major 
course  requirements  are 
significantly  different  from 
department  to  department. 
Those  students  may  be  per- 
mitted to  replace  major 
courses  in  the  original  major 
with  major  courses  in  the  new 
major.  The  grade  for  such  a 
replacement  course  will 
replace  the  original  grade  in 
the  computation  of  the 
cumulative  QPA  ,”  according 


to  the  proposal. 

These  students  changing 
majors  are  the  only  excep- 
tions to  having  only  a replace- 
ment grade  computed  into 
the  QPA,  without  having  the 
original  grade  also  computed. 
Both  courses  and  grades  will 
be  listed  on  a studenfs 
transcript. 

“Everything  counts  now.  If 


your  transcript. 

We’re  trying  to  bring  QPA 
on  the  transcript  closer  to  how 
others  calculate  it,”  Scheye 
said. 

The  proposal  also  adds  that 
“Only  courses  taken  at  Loyola 
College  will  be  used  in  the 
computation  of  both  the 
cumulative  and  term  Loyola 
QPA  for  the  purposes  of 
academic  standing,  probation 
and  dismissal.” 

The  Council  also  discussed 


the  possibility  of  having 
students  take  their  core 
course  first  and  then  their 
electives. 

By  taking  the  core  courses 
first,  students  would  not  be 
allowed  to  say  that  they  were 
replacina  an  elective. 

She  said  that  if  a student 
was  to  take  his  core  courses 
first  then  he  would  not  try  “to 
raise  his  QPA  for  other 
reasons.” 

' David  Roswell,  dean  at  the 
College  of  Art  and  Sciences, 
said  that  all  the  courses  will  be 
shown  on  the  transcript  for 
the  purpose  of  calculating  the 
QPA  internally  at  Loyola  and 
for  purposes  of  academic 
dismissal. 

In  addition  to  the  changes 
made  in  the  cumulative  QPA 
and  in  the  replacement  of 
courses,  the  process  for 
withdrawing  from  a course 
will  be  uniform  for  both 
graduate  and  undergraduate 
students. 

Students  will  not  be  al- 
lowed to  withdraw  later-than 
one  week  after  mid-semester. 
After  this  time,  students  will 
only  be  allowed  to  withdraw 
for  serious  reasons  and  with 
the  approval  of  the  teacher, 
the  department  chairman,  the 
faculty  advisor  and  the  dean. 


term.  QPA.  you  fail  a course  it  will  be  on 

The  College  Council  will  decide  on  a proposal  to  eliminate  activity  period  on  l uesdays  and 

Thursdays  at  their  June  14  meeting.  This  proposal  would  schedule  classes  from  11:20  a.m.  to 
12:50  p.m.  on  Tuesdays  and  Thursdays. 

The  proposal  submitted  by  Dean  Francis  McGuire  would  allow  classrooms  to  be  opened  up 
and  used  during  this  time. 

His  proposal  states  that  “The  college  simply  can  no  longer  not  schedule  classes  during  a 
prime  class  time  (TR  11:20-12:50). 

With  the  removal  of  a formal  activity  period,  these  activities  will  have  to  be  scheduled  at  a 
time  most  convenient  to  those  involved.  Most  students  will  be  able  to  arrange  their  class 
schedules  to  enable  them  to  participate  in  the  activities  and  the  intramural  sports  of  their 
choice.”

Mid  term  holiday  up  to  McGuire 


cont.  fr.  pg.  1 

McGuire  said,  “I  must  look 
at  the  needs  of  the  entire 
group.” 

The  entire  group,  accord- 
ing to  McGuire,  included 
staff,  faculty  and  students. 

Nicholas  Varga,  professor 
of  history,  and  Abromaitis  felt 
the  priorities  and  business  of 
the  college  lie  in  teaching. 

If  a change  in  the  calendar 


were  to  occur,  McGuire  said, 
“A  small  group  of  students  at 
both  schools  would  be  in- 
convenienced, less  than 
100.” 

Bankins  felt  her  proposal 
was  advantageous  to  students 
because  of  events  scheduled 
by  clubs  during  spring  break. 
The  Commuter  Students 
Association’s  trip  to  Florida, 
the  Black  Students  Associa- 
tion’s Easter  retreat  and  the 


High  Adventure  Club’s  trip 
would  be  affected. 

Bankins  said,  “The  calen- 
dar appeared  and  nobody 
was  told.  Mid-term  holiday  is 
fundamentally  necessary.” 

She  also  felt  a 3-day  holi- 
day in  March  would  be  ad- 
vantageous to  students 
because  without  it  students 
would  attend  9 complete 
weeks  of  class  before  spring 
break. 


Abromaitis  brought  up  the 
point  that  the  calendar  has 
not  always  been  set  by 
McGuire.  She  said  before 
1981  a Program  Committee 
set  the  schedule  and  brought 
it  before  the  council  for  ap- 
proval. 

Scheye  said,  “My  conten- 
tion’s that  the  final  decision 
about  the  calendar  must  be 
the  decision  of  the  dean.

Council  focuses  on  budgets,  calendar 


by  Colleen  Lilly 

Monday’s  Administrative 
Council  of  the  Associated 
Students  of  Loyola  College 
(ASLC)  took  care  of  old 
business  by  approving  the 
revised  proposed  club 
budgets  for  1984-85,  by 
swearing  in  two  newly  ap- 
pointed members  and  by 
voting  on  the  revised  spring 
1985  calendar. 

The  Council  accepted  a 
budget  of  $54,191.49  for  the 
next  fiscal  year  with  a vote  of 
29  to  1. 

Junior  Dave  Flury  was 
sworn  in  as  the  assistant  to  the 
Jan  term  coordinator,  and 
junior  Bill  King  was  sworn  in 
as  the  assistant  to  the  Director 
of  Events  Administration. 

A vote  was  taken  on  the 
revised  spring  1985  calendar. 
Dora  Bankins,  president  of 


the  ASLC,  proposed  an  alter- 
nate calendar  to  Dean  Francis 
McGuire’s. 

McGuire’s  proposal  for 
spring  1985  would  allow  for 
no  one  day  mid-term  break 
ind  would  give  students  a 
spring  break  at  Easter  from 
Wednesday,  April  3 through 
Tuesday,  April  9,  1985. 

Bankins’  proposal,  which 
was  accepted  19-2  by  the 
Council  in  a hand  count  vote, 
would  allow  for  a mid-term 
break  on  Friday,  March  15 
and  an  11 -day  spring  break 
from  Thursday,  April  4 
through  Sunday,  April  14, 
1985. 

The  only  differences  in  the 
two  proposals  center  around 
the  number  of  class  days  and 
the  number  of  weekends  off. 
McGuire’s  proposal  gives 
students  70  class  days,  while 
Bankins’  allows  for  69-class 


days  and  two  additional 
weekends  off,  on  3-day 
weekend  in  March  and 
another  at  Easter. 

Debate  on  Bankins’  pro- 
posal concerned  whether  a 
midterm  holiday  is  necessary 
and  around  whether  students 
should  have  off  the  week 
before  or  the  week  after 
Easter. 

Bankins  took  her  proposal 
to  the  College  Council  yester- 
day. 

Bankins  also  brought 
before  the  Council  a proposal 
that  was  voted  on  yesterday 
at  College  Council.  The  pro- 
posal entailed  changing  the 
minimum  Quality  Point 
Average  (QPA)  for 
sophomores  from  a minimum 
of  1.8  to  2.0.  The  QPA  for 
freshmen  would  also  be 
raised  to  a 1.8  from  a 1.5. 

The  Council  was  in  agree- 


ment with  Bankins  to  vote  for 
this  proposal  at  College 
Council.  The  proposal  also 
suggests  that  a student  should 
be  dismissed  if  his  QPA  is  not 
raised  to  the  appropriate  level 
after  one  semester  of 
academic  probation. 

Mo  Ghotbi,  vice  president 
for  academic  affairs,  an- 
nounced a departmental 
meeting  on  Tuesday. 

Resident  Affairs  Council 
(RAC)  President  Tim  Weiss 
announced  that  tickets  to 
Preakness  were  $8  and  in-

the  RAC  at  the  Preakness  on 
Saturday,  May  19.

the  primary  concern,  but  not 
the  only  concern. 

The  decision  that  Loyola 
and  Notre  Dame  will 
cooperate  was  a decision 
made  by  the  Board  of 
Trustees.” 

A question  was  raised  by 
the  Council  about  whether 
graduate  programs  would  be 
affected  by  a change  in  the 
spring  calendar. 


nounced  that  the  Sadie 
Hawkins  Dance  would  be 
tomorrow. 

The  minutes  for  the  April 
16,  1984  meeting  were  ap- 
proved with  a general  con- 
sensus, but  objections  were 
raised  about  the  minutes  of 
April  30,  1984. 

“The  minutes  have  to  be 
redone  for  obvious  reasons,” 
Vice  President  for  Student  Af- 
fairs Marty  Kelly  said. 

The  minutes  were  rejected 
because  of  vagueness,  a lack 
of  appropriate  factual  infor- 
mation and  a sense  of  humor 
by  Senior  Class  President  Ted 
Miles. 

Miles  respectfully  submitted 
the  minutes  in  the  place  of 
Executive  Secretary  Beth 
Stockman  who  was  not  in  at- 
tendance at  the  April  30 
meeting. 

The  vagueness  of  the 
minutes  centered  around  the 
statement  that  “Tim  Delaney 
was  appointed  to  some  coun- 
cil.” 

Factual  information  was 
lacking  in  the  statements 
about  the  already  existing 
Student  Health  and 
Awareness  Committee,  head- 
ed by  Dave  Greenfield. 

Student  Affairs  vice  presi- 
dent Marty  Kelly  announced 
that  Dave  Greenfield  wants  to 
propose  a Student  Health 
Awareness  Committee  if  the 
ASLC  will  help  with  the  pro- 
gram. 

In  addition  to  a humorous 
statement  made  about  serving 
Tim  Boucher  beer  and  Tim 
Weiss’  attempts  to  get  kegs  in 
the  Preakness  infield,  the 
document  stated  how 
Bankins  proposed  the  Presi- 
dent’s Ball  and  how  she  swore 
in  newly  appointed  members: 

President  Dora  Bankins  an- 
nounced a proposal  to  move 
the  Presidenfs  Ball  to  October 
13.  Her  own  brainstorm! 
Dora  also  announced  the 
1984-85  school  calendar  has 
been  completed  minus  a mid- 
term break.  Dora  is  working 
on  an  alternative  for  a longer 
break.  The  engineering 
department  approved  plans 
for  accreditation  on  a 5-1-5 
system.  The  5-5  system  has 
no  been  designated  for  all 
majors.  New  members  of 
ASLC  were  sworn  in.  Ap- 
pointments were  not  really 
approved  but  Dora  worked 
her  way  out  of  it.  Dora  will 
work  diligently  to  improve  of- 
fice space.  She  over- 
exaggerated saying  her  office 
was  30^8.

about  basketball,  but  its  theme  encom- 
passes feelings  of  angry  hope  and  bit- 
ter disappointment  that  transcend  the 
world  of  professional  sports.  Even 
those  of  us  who  have  difficulty 
distinguishing  between  a home  run 
and  a slam  dunk  will  find  plenty  of 
meaning  in  James  Yoshimura’s  play. 
Ohio  Tip-Off  deals  with  universals:  the 
perennial  pain  of  losing... again  and 
again... and  the  evasive  triumph  of 
winning. 

Making  a living  in  a minor  league 
basketball  team  (at  fifty  bucks  a game) 
is  a frustrating,  often  heartbreaking 
struggle.  Nobody  knows  this  better 
than  the  Ohio  Shakers.  Worn  out  and 
beaten  down,  the  Shakers  hold  a 
dismal  record  - thirty  one  losses,  four 
wins.  They  range  in  age  from  22  to 
29,  and  are  in  varying  states  of  athletic 
prowess.  The  stark  contrast  between 
older  and  younger  players,  crushing 
weariness  vs.  trembling  hopes,  comes 
alive  as  the  play  opens  and  the  players 
amble  into  the  locker  room.  Younger 
team  members  still  exude  energy  as 
others  wearily  nurse  old  ankle  and 
knee  injuries.  But  everyone’s  hopes 
flutter  just  a little  when  it  is  announced 
that  “the  man”  is  present  - tonight!  A 
scout  from  the  NBA  will  be  watching 
the  Shakers.  He  needs  at  least  one 


player  and  for  all  seven,  that 
means  possibilify. 

“The  man  from  heaven  is  here,” 
says  Dwight,  who  is  still  young  and 
lithe  enough  to  taste  the  nearness  of 
professional  success.  “Saw  his  suit- 
cases...the  man.  He’s  finally  come. 
About  goddam  time... about  time  he 
came  for  me.” 

Every  player,  to  some  extent,  still 
nurtures  the  fierce  longing  - that  “the 
man”  will  come  someday,  brandishing 
the  big  break  on  a silver  platter.  But 
the  dream  requires  life  to  soar,  and  not 
even  Dwight  can  muster  enough  fire  to 
send  it  flying. 

The  cast  of  Ohio  Tip-Off  does  a fine 
job  of  breathing  fire  into  the  bitter 
humor  and  the  desperate  dreams  of 
the  Ohio  Shakers.  Mark  Kenneth 
Smaltz  plays  Erv,  the  oldest  of  the 
Shakers.  Tired  and  utterly  beaten,  Erv 
cannot  remember  where  the  team 
played  the  night  before.  He  is  trapped; 
his  life  is  ruled  by  his  wife,  whose  only 
hopes  and  dreams  center  around  Erv’s 
eventual  success  in  the  NBA.  The 
trouble  is,  as  Erv  knows  and  savagely 
tries  to  deny,  is  that  he  just  doesn’t 
“have  if  anymore.  Smaltz  shows  us 
the  pathos  of  Erv’s  predicament  with 
sensitivity  and  honesty. 

There  is  a curious  chemistry  be- 
tween Erv  and  Trumbo  (Jay  O. 
Sanders),  another  player  who  has 
been  around  for  a while  and  whose 
chances  of  scoring  points  with  “the 


man”  are  slim.  Like  Erv,  Trumbo  suf- 
fers from  an  injury  and  does  his  best  to 
overcome  it.  And,  like  Erv,  Trumbo 
knows  that  ifs  just  a matter  of  time. 

While  Erv  and  Trumbo  make  weak 
stabs  at  the  great  NBA  dream,  the 
younger  Dwight  and  Gerald  vie  for  the 
opportunity  like  starving  animals  bat- 
tling over  a scrap  of  flesh.  Eugene  Lee 
as  Dwight  and  Tom  Wright  as  Gerald 
both  convey,  with  painful  vitality,  the 
hunger  of  determined  young  athletes 
looking  for  the  big  break. 

In  the  end,  one  of  the  players  gets 
it -the  magic  look  from  “the  man”. 
The  others  regard  him  with  mbced  en- 
and  admiration.  For  the  younger 
players,  perhaps,  his  selection  may 


mean  hope... yes,  it  can  be  done.  But 
for  others,  the  hope  has  crumbled  into 
a tired  longing. 

The  rest  of  the  cast,  Walter 
Atamaniuk  (Sawyer),  Bill  Fagerbakke 
(Horace),  Samuel  L.  Jackson  (Tony), 
and  William  E.  Kennedy  (Tico),  all  do 
an  admirable  job,  and  the  set  captures 
the  dismal  atmosphere  of  the  locker 
room,  where  the  action  takes  place. 
Battered  benches  and  lockers,  no 
water  in  the  showers... it  all  seems  to 
suggest  that  air  of  futile  aspiration. 

Ohio  Tip-Off  is  a tense,  human 
drama  about  the  undeniable  realities 
of  winning  and  losing.  It  will  run 
through  June  10. 


Loyola  student  caters  to  local  partyers 


by  Tina  Carlgnano 


Although  they  can  be  expensive,  a 
pain  to  clean  up,  and  time  consuming 
to  prepare  for,  just  about  everyone 
loves  a party.  Brian  Fitzgerald  really 
loves  parties  - in  fact,  he  enjoys  them 
so  much  that  he’ll  prepare  the  food, 
furnish  the  waiters,  waitresses, 
busboys,  bartenders,  and  if  needed, 
valet  parking.  Hell  even  see  to  it  that 
everything  gets  cleaned  up  afterward. 
What?!  No,  Fitzgerald  hasn’t  lost  his 
mind,  but  he  has  rendered  some  of  his 


own  marketable  propositions  and  ac- 
quired a somewhat  profitable  business 
that  specializes  in  the  art  of  merry 
making.  Since  October  of  1982,  the 
Loyola  business  major  has  been 
manager  of  his  own  catering  service 
known  as  Party  People. 

What  the  young  entrepreneur 
describes  as  a “fun-loving  experience,” 
the  idea  for  Party  People  occurred  to 
Fitzgerald  during  the  summer  of  1982. 

“My  parents  do  a great  deal  of  enter- 
taining,” he  explained.  “At  one  of  their 
parties  they  asked  me  if  I had  any 


friends  who’d  be  interested  in  parking 
guests’  cars  and  getting  paid  for  it.” 
Well,  the  parking  valets  at  the  Fitz- 
gerald’s party  that  night  didn’t  come  up 
empty  handed.  According  to  Fitz- 
gerald, some  of  them  made  $20  in  tips 
alone  within  three  hours. 

Little  did  Fitzgerald  know  that  one 
evening  of  valet  parking  would 
motivate  him  to  start  his  own  catering 
service.  Without  any  real  serious  in- 
tentions, Fitzgerald  began  advertising 
Party  People  in  small  community 
newspapers.  Meanwhile,  with  the  help 
of  some  enthusiastic  friends  from 
Loyola,  he  managed  to  piece  together 
a potential  crew  ■ 

Currently,  Party  People’s  services 
are  requested  by  customers  from 
Guilford,  Roland  Park,  Towson,  and 
as  far  north  as  Cockeysville.  Most  of 
the  events  have  been  cocktail  parties, 
dinners  and  even  a couple  of  wed- 
dings, one  of  which  was  quite  a 
unique  experience.  “We  once  served 
a wedding  of  about  90  people  to  a 
completely  vegetarian  meal,”  recalled 
Fitzgerald.  “The  bridal  couple  knew 
exactly  what  they  wanted  at  the 
meal... the  people  who  worked  didn’t 
even  know  what  to  expect.”  Never- 
theless, Fitzgerald  assured  that 
everything  turned  out  rather  well. 

Party  People  is  what  its  proprietor 
describes  as  a “service  ended”  catering 
service.  We  offer  cleaning,  valet  park- 
ing, and  cooking  which  is  done  on  the 
premises,”  he  stated.  Although  the 
caterer’s  client  must  provide  food  for 
the  occasion.  Party  People  will  cook 
anything  that  their  hosts  desire. 

For  Fitzgerald,  acting  as  proprietor 
and  manager  of  Party  People  has 
allowed  him  to  discover  some  impor- 
tant qualities  about  himself  as  a 


businessman.  “Fve  really  learned  a lot 
about  my  strengths  and  weaknesses 
through  dealing  with  people  and 
through  the  day  to  day  management 
hassles  that  arise  when  you’re  trying  to 
please  your  customers,”  he  conceded. 

According  to  Party  People  waitress 
(or  hostess),  Pam  Trimarchi,  a majori- 
ty of  the  patrons  are  judges  and  their 
wives  who  are  “just  terrific.”  Hostess 
Doreen  Desmaris  added  that  not  only 
are  they  nice,  but  “rich.”  “By  working 
for  them  you  get  to  see  a lot  of  neat 
houses  - especially  in  Roland  Park,” 
she  admitted.  Desmaris  also  remarked 
that  in  some  instances  she  has  en- 
countered people  who  regard  the 
employees  sort  of  as  servants.  “I  think 
that  in  some  cases  people  really  don’t 
need  us.  By  hiring  us,  their  friends  will 
think,  ‘Wow,  they  need  a catering  ser- 
vicer she  commented. 

Thus  far.  Party  People,  which 
charges  about  $9  an  hour,  has  been 
very  profitable.  The  catering  service’s 
busiest  time  of  the  year  is  Christmas. 
“This  past  December,”  stated  Fitz- 
gerald, “we  worked  at  16  parties  in  a 
12  night  run.”  Sounds  pretty  im- 
pressive and  quite  promising  for  a 
student-run  catering  service.  Never- 
theless, Fitzgerald  is  graduating  this 
year  and  has  opted  to  sell  his  “fun- 
loving”  business. 

However,  Party  People  has  one 
more  big  hooplah  before  the  “For 
Sale”  sign  puts  a damper  on  the  ser- 
vice’s further  activities.  Fitzgerald  and 
his  crew  will  soon  be  gearing  up  for  the 
“Zoo-merang,”  a fund  raiser  spon- 
sored by  the  Baltimore  Zoo.  The  for- 
mal event,  which  expects  about  600 
people  to  attend,  is  black  tie  and  will 
be  held  in  the  Zoo’s  mansion.  Party 
People  will  be  providing  bar  service  for 
the  event.

THE  GREYHOUND.  May  11,  1984 


President's  Review  honors  outstanding  cadets 


by  Tina  Carignano 

Under  sunny  skies,  the  President’s 
Review,  a ceremony  which  highlights 
the  activities  of  Loyola’s  ROTC  cadet 
organization  in  honor  of  the  president 
of  Loyola  College,  was  a fine  exhibi- 
tion of  military  form.  Since  the  ROTC 
battalion  began  at  Loyola  in  1953,  the 
President’s  Review  has  allowed  the 
cadet  battalion  to  pass  in  review  before 
the  military  cadre  and  the  president  of 
the  college.  Also  during  the  event, 
ROTC  cadets  of  outstanding  academic 
and  military  excellence  are  honored 
for  their  high  caliber  performance  dur- 
ing the  past  school  year. 

Academic  Vice  President  Thomas 
E.  Scheye  was  present  at  the 
ceremony  in  place  of  college  President 
the  Reverend  Joseph  A.  Sellinger.  In 
his  remarks  to  the  cadet  battalions, 
Scheye  stated  that  military  science  has 
been  an  important  factor  in  Loyola’s 
acclamation  as  a liberal  arts  college. 

“Loyola  offers  a liberal  arts  educa- 
tion to  free  men  (and  women), 
dedicated  to  the  service  of  their  coun- 
try and  freedom.”  Scheye  continued, 
“These  are  men  and  women  with  an 
eye  for  future.” 

One  Loyola  faculty  member 
credited  with  offering  his  guidance  to 
these  men  and  women  is  Reverend 
Denis  M.  Linehan.  Father  Linehan 
was  awarded  a Certificate  of  Apprecia- 
tion for  Patriotic  Service  to  the 
military,  which  was  presented  to  him 
by  Lieutenant  Colonel  Dwight  E.  Hair, 
professor  of  military  science.  LTC  Hair 
described  Linehan  as  a “real  asset  to 
the  military  science  program  at 
Loyola.”  LTC  Hair  said  that  Father 
Linehan’s  learned  knowledge  in  the 


classics  has  made  the  army 
academically  stronger  because  of  what 
he’s  done  for  the  cadets. 


Father  Linehan  will  be  transferring 
to  Scranton  University  in  Pennsylvania 
in  the  fall. 

Several  of  Loyola’s  ROTC  cadets 
were  presented  with  awards  of 
distinguished  merit,  including  Cadet 
Colonel  Timothy  Madey  who  received 
the  Presidenfs  Distinguished  Cadet 
Award,  which  is  given  to  a senior 
cadet  officer  who  has  excelled  in 
academic  and  military  achievements 
during  the  advanced  course.  Reci- 
pients of  the  Department  of  the  Army 
Superior  Cadet  Award  included  Cadet 
Major  Patricia  Quinn,  Cadet  Staff 
Sergeant  David  Petray,  Cadet 
Sergeant  Jeffrey  Kramer  and  Cadet 
Corporal  Robert  Henstrand.  Awarded 
by  the  Department  of  the  Army,  it  is 
given  to  the  cadet  of  each  class  who 
has  displayed  outstanding  academic 
achievement  and  military  leadership. 

According  to  Cadet  Lieutenant 
Commander  Michael  Borders,  the 
main  goal  of  ROTC  is  “to  develop  the 
necessary  qualities  in  people  to  a point 
where  they  can  handle  responsibility 


SP5  Carl  Franklin 


and  leadership.” 

Cadet  Captain  Douglas  Adams  said 
that,  indeed,  the  ROTC  program,  and 
the  military  in  general,  has  a definite 
maturing  factor.  “The  ROTC  program 
makes  the  normal  college  student 
mature  at  a faster  rate  because  of  the 
responsibilities  that  one  has  to  face  in 
the  outside  world.” 

The  cadets  this  past  year  have 
demonstrated  that  they  are  a 
dedicated  troop  of  young  men  and 
women.  Major  Richard  Morton,  who 
will  be  transferring  to  Fort  Meade, 
Maryland  next  year,  said  that  he  feels 
quite  confident  with  the  cadets  that  he 
has  taught  this  year.  “They’re  ready, 
willing  and  able  - chomping  at  the  bit,” 
he  asserted.  “I’m  very  satisfied  with 
their  accomplishments.  They’ve  been 
exposed  to  different  instructors  with 
various  backgrounds  - Fm  sure  that 
they’ll  continue  to  grow.”  With  the 
senior  cadets  in  mind,  Morton  added 
that  he’s  “very  glad  to  have  had  some 
input  before  the  cadets  enter  the  ‘real 
world’.”  He  said  that  he  expects  to  see 
d great  deal  of  the  senior  cadets  enter 
into  graduate  school.  Morton’s  future 
assignment  will  place  him  as  Ft. 


ajor  Richard  Moiton 


Meade’s  Force  Moderizations  Training 
Coordinator. 

Administrative  NCO  Carl  Franklin 
says  that  the  cadets  that  he’s  dealt  with 
are  highly  motivated.  “There’s  a strong 
sense  of  belonging  from  ROTC  that  is 
extremely  important  in  influencing 
other  students  to  join  them.  Franklin  is 
also  being  transferred  to  an  assign- 
ment abroad  - Germany!  “Fve  enjoyed 
my  stay  here.  I kind  of  regret  leaving,” 
Franklin  admitted. 

Sergeant  Major  Robert  Clark  also 
has  plans  of  transferring  from  Loyola. 
The  chief  instructor,  who  says  that  the 
students  are  “excellent,”  will  be  mov- 
ing to  Fort  Devens,  Massachusetts 
where  he  will  be  working  at  the  Tenth 
Special  Forces  Group. 

Lieutenant  Colonel  Dwight  E.  Hair 
commented  that  the  Loyola  ROTC 
cadets  are  truly  outstanding.  LTC  Hair 
began  his  military  post  in  Loyola’s 
military  science  department  last  sum- 
mer. He  was  previously  the  com- 
mander of  the  Baltimore-Wahsington 
Recruiting  Batallion.  In  reference  to 
the  cadet  class’s  enthusiasm,  LTC  Hair 
simply  claimed  that  “everyone’s  going 
for  the  gusto!”

Orientation  staff  engages  in  semester-long  activity 


by  Tina  Carignano 


The  first  couple  of  months  as  a col- 
lege freshman  is  undoubtedly  the  most 
frightening  and  unstable  experience 
that  one  will  ever  face  during  his/her 
college  career  - next  to  cramming  for 
final  exams.  Both  residents  and  com- 
muters alike  experience  the  inital  anx- 
iety of  meeting  new  classmates, 
teachers  and  the  dreaded  heavy  study 
load.  Without  a doubt,  the  orientation 
process  is  one  of  the  most  important 
aspects  of  welcoming  and  assuring  in- 
coming freshman,  as  well  as  transfer 
students,  that  someone  is  concerned 
about  their  academic  and  social  well 
being.  Under  the  supervision  of  Cyn- 
thia Greco,  Dean  of  Student  Develop- 
ment, the  Loyola  Orientation  staff  of 
1984  will  be  engaging  in  a “semester 
experience.”  According  to  Greco, 
orientation  must  address  all  adjust- 
ment needs,  not  just  the  “welcoming” 
ones. 

Greco,  who  attained  her  position  at 
Loyola  only  four  months  ago,  was 
previously  an  advisor  with  the  student 
government,  RA  and  orientation  staffs 
of  Wheeling  College  in  West  Virginia. 
Thus  far,  Greco  has  been  quite  im- 
pressed with  the  creativity  and  en- 
thusiasm of  Loyola  students.  Hence, 
that  enthusiasm  over  flowed  into  the 
large  amount  of  orientation  staff  ap- 
plications which  Greco  received  this 
spring.  The  Student  Development 
Dean  said  the  extended  deadline  for 
filing  the  applications  accounts  for  the 
overwhelming  response.  However, 
not  all  applicants  were  chosen  as  staff 
members  of  Orientation  1984.  “It  was 
very  difficult  to  narrow  down,”  admit- 


Cynthia  Greco  offers  a fresh 
approach  for  orientation  next  fall. 


ted  Greco.  “But  it  really  shows  that 
people  do  take  an  interest  in  the  pro- 
gram.” The  1984  freshman  class  has 
been  estimated  to  include  650 
students.  The  orientation  staff  will  in- 
clude 75  members  as  well  as  other 
alternates  to  act  as  tour  guides  and  ad- 
visors for  the  new  students. 

Greco  said  that  the  applicants  she 
interviewed  were  very  serious  about 
attaining  a position  on  the  staff.  “I 
selected  students  who  were  not  only 
serious  but  also  who  were  in  good 
academic  standing,  with  good  recom- 
mendations and  possessing  good 
listening  skills  as  well  as  a positive  ap- 


proach to  the  Loyola  tradition,”  she  af- 
firmed. Greco  emphasized  that  the 
necessity  for  selecting  students  with 
good  academic  standing  is  that  the  col- 
lege wants  to  provide  its  new  students 
with  a sound  and  strong  source  of  in- 
formation. 

Greco  and  her  orientation  steering 
committee,  which  includes  students 
Clare  Ziomek,  Marty  Kelly,  Nelson 
Carey,  Ed  Schmidt,  Mike  Avia  and 
Dora  Bankins,  will  be  putting  together 
the  orientation  schedule  of  events  as 
well  as  a two  day  staff  training  session . 
Training  will  include  basic  curriculum 
and  registration  information,  listening 


skills  and  spiritual  and  Jesuit  elements 
of  the  college. 

“The  committee  will  be  coordinating 
the  whole  fall  activity  schedule  in- 
cluding different  points  of  contact,  in 
which  the  students  and  their  assigned 
orientation  staff  member  will  meet  with 
each  other  through  out  the  semester,” 
said  Greco. 

“We  would  really  like  orientation  to 
be  a moving  experience  for  the 
freshman  class,”  commented  Greco. 
“We  want  the  freshmen  to  meet  some 
quality  peers  as  advisors  - which  is 
vital  for  an  excellent  academic 
background,”  she  said. 


Alpha  Sigma  Nu  inducts  new  members 


Loyola’s  chapter  of  Alpha  Sigma 
Nu,  the  National  Jesuit  Honor  Socie- 
ty, held  its  induction  ceremony  on 
Saturday,  April  28.  34  undergraduate 
students  (14  from  the  class  of  1984 
and  20  from  next  yea/s  graduating 
class),  27  graduate  students,  and 
several  past  and  present  staff  and 
faculty  members  were  honored  as 
honorary  members  of  ASN.  These 
were:  Carol  Neven  Abromaitis,  Chair- 
man of  the  English  and  Fine  Arts 
Department,  and  Distinguished 
Teacher  of  the  Year  for  1983, 
Catherine  H.  McDonald,  Registrar  of 
the  College  from  1930-1965,  and 
Herbert  R.  O’Conor,  Jr.,  a 1943 
Loyola  graduate  who  has  been  active 
in  Baltimoreans  for  Children’s  Sur- 
vival, the  Baltimore  Committee  for 
Aid  to  Semalia,  and  the  Jesuit  Mis- 
sions. Also  honored  as  an  honorary 


member  was  Joseph  A.  Sobierajski, 
S.J.,  Rector  for  the  Jesuit  Communi- 
ty- 

The  induction  ceremony  marked  a 
memorable  occasion  in  ASN’s  forty- 
two  year  history  on  the  campus.  Ac- 
cording to  Academic  Dean  Francis 
McGuire,  these  past  fourteen  years 
have  been  “especially  significant.” 
Under  the  tutelage  of  the  Reverend 
Nicholas  Kunkel,  S.J.,  moderator,  the 
organization  has  made  considerable 
contributions  to  Loyola’s  academic 
community.  During  this  period,  ASN 
began  to  admit  graduate  students  as 
members,  conferred  membership  on 
distinguished  Loyola  graduates,  and 
established  a tutorial  program.  Father 
Kunkel,  who  will  be  retiring  as 
moderator,  was  honored  at  the 
ceremony.

Cars  pulse  gets  stronger  on  Heartbeat  City 


Heartbeat  City 
The  Cars  (Elektra) 


In  1984,  the  Cars  woke  up.  Heart- 
beat City  follows  two  albums  that  were 
not  bad,  but  lacked  the  vitality  of 
Cand^z-O  and  the  debut  album.  On 
the  new  album,  the  Cars  have 
rediscovered  many  of  the  elements 
which  made  them  so  appealing  in  the 
first  place . 

As  opposed  to  the  often  cluttered, 
ill-defined  sound  that  marred 
Panorama  and  Shake  It  Up,  Heartbeat 
Cify  is  brisk  and  lucid . Although  some 
might  complain  that  the  Car’s  sound 
has  become  too  commercial,  the  reali- 
ty is  that  the  Cars  have  simply  become 
easier  to  listen  to. 

Heartbeat  Cify  still  sounds  very 
much  like  a Cars  album,  although 
guitarist/ vocalist/ songwriter/head 
cheese  Ric  Ocasek  has  reinterpreted 
the  Cars’s  style  through  more  recent 
development  on  the  new  wave  rock 
scene.  In  1984,  the  Cars  have  once 
again  caught  up  with  the  musical 
revolution  that  they  helped  start  back 
in  1978. 


When  he’s  not  making  state-of- 
the-art  videos,  Ric  Ocasek  seals 
himself  in  a tiny  compartment 
and  snaps  his  fingers. 


The  songs  “You  Might  Think,” 
“Hello  Again”  and  “Magic”  sound  the 
most  pop,  although  they  each  have 
their  distinctive  Cars  quirks.  Several  of 
the  other  songs  experiment  with  the 
Cars  style  in  pleasant  although  slightly 
unexpected  ways. 

The  quintessential  Ocasekian  ballad 
“Drive”  is  a Cars  song  unlike  any  we 
have  ever  heard  before.  As  the  soft 


Ben  Onr  just  after  he  was 
beamed  out  of  the  studio  into 
the  landing  bay  of  a U.F.O. 


synthesizer  strains  create  a romantic 
backdrop,  we  hear  the  bubble- 
pr  icking  lyrics,  “Who’s  gonna  pay  at- 
tention to  your  dreams/Who’s  gonna 
plug  their  ears  when  you  scream.” 

Two  songs  on  the  second  side  have 
a very  synthesized,  rhythm-focused, 
Eurhythmics-type  feel;  “It’s  Not  the 
Right”  and  “Why  Can’t  I Have  You.” 
The  latter  song  is  the  album’s  best 
showcase  for  the  vivid  yet  peculiar  im- 
agery that  has  become  an  Ocasek 
trademark:  “Candy  smile  all  the  while 
glinting/ your  eyes  like  mica  lethal 
pour  hinting.” 

Heartbeat  Cify  marks  the  belated  ar- 
rival of  the  Cars  into  the  mid-eighties. 
Now  that  the  Cars  have  rediscovered 
their  strengths,  their  longetivity  as 
chart-toppers  could  be  extended  in- 
definitely. 


Talk  Show 
Go-Go’s  (I.R.S.) 

The  Go-Go’s  aren’t  an  all-girl  band. 
They’re  an  all-woman  band.  Judging 
by  the  extraordinary  musical  maturity 
they  show  on  their  new  album  the  Go- 
Go’s  have  left  the  frivolities  of  girlhood 
behind  forever. 

Their  debut  in  1981  tagged  them  as 
a bubbly  infectious  but  indisputably 
girlish  band,  the  Go-Go’s  sound  was 
bouncy  and  fun,  but  there  wasn’t  a lot 
of  substance.  Vacation  smoothed  the 
rough  edges,  but  did  not  represent  a 
great  advance  over  Beaufy  and  the 
Beat. 

On  Talk  Show,  however,  the  Go- 
Go’s  completely  cease  to  see 
themselves  as  a novelty  and  prove 
once  and  for  all  that  a viable  all-female 
rock  band  is  not  only  possible  but 
desirable.  Suddenly,  the  Go-Go’s 
have  blossomed  into  a serious,  in- 
novative rock  group. 

Nearly  every  song  on  Talk  Show 
has  a striking,  instantly  engaging  quali- 
ty. Particular  gems  are  “Capture  the 
Light,”  “Yes  or  No,”  “Head  Over 
Heels”  and  “Turn  to  You.”  For  some 
reason,  this  album  seems  to  recapture 
the  raw  appeal  of  mid-sixties  pop  in 
the  vein  of  the  Go-Go’s. 

Perhaps  the  most  remarkable  thing 
about  this  album  is  its  stunning  diversi- 
ty. Each  member  of  the  Go-Go’s  has 
at  least  one  songwriting  credit  except 
for  lead  singer  Belinda  Carlisle;  most 
of  the  songs  are  co-written  which 
means  they  enjoyed  the  benefit  of 
several  sources  of  input. 

“Mercenary,”  one  of  the  most 
unusual  songs  on  the  album,  was  co- 
written by  bassist  Kathy  Valentine  and 
guitarists  Charlotte  Caffey  and  Jane 
Wiedlin.  Its  militaristic  drum  introduc- 
tion and  acoustic  guitar  riffs  sound 
nothing  like  earlier  Go-Go’s  material, 
but  the  song  is  masterfully  written  and 
arranged. 

On  Talk  Show,  the  Go-Go’s  achieve 
a drama  and  excitement  that  few 
groups  ever  achieve,  much  less  all- 


female groups,  which  all  too  often  are 
too  incompetent  or  gimmick-ridden  to 
be  worthwhile.  Talk  Show  unques- 
tionably will  qualify  as  one  of  the  best 
albums  of  1984. 


Love  Life 

Berlin  (Geffen) 

From  the  group  that  gave  you 
“Sex,”  we  now  have  a new  album  en- 
titled Love  Life.  The  title  is  more  than 
accurate;  each  of  the  ten  songs  on  the 
album  deals  with  some  aspect  of 
romance  and/or  sex. 

This  is  Berlin’s  first  full-fledged 
album,  as'  last  year’s  seven  song 
Pleasure  Victim  was  classified  as  an 
E.P.  Unfortunately,  some  of  the 
material  on  Love  Life  is 
weak  - perhaps  it  too  should  have 
consisted  of  fewer  songs. 

In  general,  Berlin  does  not  wander 
too  far  from  the  sassy,  synth- 
dominated  style  they  established  on 
Pleasure  Victim.  The  danceable 
“Dancing  in  Berlin”  and  the  brooding 
“In  My  Dreams”  deviate  from  Berlin’s 
standard  somewhat,  but  not  drastically 
so.  Much  of  the  album  vaguely 
resembles  the  single  “No  More 
Words,”  although  only  “Pictures  of 
You”  is  as  catchy. 

Sexy  Terri  Nunn’s  vocals  are  as 
sweet  and  seductive  as  ever,  and  she 
is  superb  at  getting  the  most  out  of  the 
lyrics,  single-minded  as  they  are. 


Yes,  for  those  of  you  who  thought 
that  “Sex”  was  the  greatest  single  of 
1983,  Berlin  peppered  Love  Life  with 
plenty  of  socially  unacceptable,  sex- 
ually oriented  lyrics.  In  “Touch”  for  ex- 
ample, Nunn  sings,  “You  can  buy  me 
a daiquiri/You  can  take  me  home  and 
tear  my  clothes  off.” 

In  all  fairness  to  Berlin,  however,  1 
should  note  that  “Touch”  and  several 
of  the  other  songs  on  the  album  make 
negative  statements  on  society’s 
destructive  obsession  with  physical, 
but  especially  sexual,  pleasure.  Berlin 


is  not  all  titillation  and  no  thought,  but 
no  one  can  deny  that  sex  sells. 

Even  so,  Berlin  should  make  some 
effort  to  expand  their  lyrical  horizons 
as  well  as  their  musical  horizons  next 
time  around.  Otherwise,  their  success 
in  the  music  world  may  become  just 
another  brief  and  soon-forgotten  fling. 


Reckoning 
R.E.M.  (I.R.S.) 


After  last  year’s  Murmur  made  near- 
ly every  critic’s  top  ten  list  (it  was  third 
on  mine) , everyone  had  great  expec- 
tations for  R.E.M.’s  second  LP.  In- 
credibly enough,  Reckoning  not  only 
meets  but  exceeds  those  expectations. 

The  songs  on  Reckoning,  like  those 
of  the  previous  album,  emphasize  cur- 
rents of  melody  that  flow  and  mix  in 
even  more  fascinating  patterns. 
Michael  Stipe’s  vocals,  slightly  less 
raspy  and  slightly  more  intelligible,  act 
as  integral  parts  of  the  melodic  pat- 
terns, just  like  another  instrument. 
R.E.M.’s  vocal  tracks  are  part  of  the 
music;  they  never  sound  like  words 
pasted  onto  a song  just  for  the  sake  of 
having  lyrics. 

Perhaps  R.E.M.’s  only  vice  is  their 
preoccupation  with  being  cryptic. 
Once  again,  they  have  included  no 
lyric  sheet;  the  credits  for  the  album 
are  scribbled  in  a box  on  the  inner 
sleeve,  and  the  song  titles  are  printed 
in  apparently  random  upper  and  lower 


“2”. 

If  inexplicable  puzzles  are  the  worst 
things  R.E.M.  ever  does,  however, 
they  will  continue  to  produce 
remarkable  music.  If  they  are  lucky, 
and  persist  in  making  solid  albums  like 
Reckoning,  R.E.M.  may  even  be 
discovered  by  the  rest  of  the  world. 
Maybe.  *

The  Omen  II 

During  the  1983-84  school  year,  both  Loyola 
College  and  The  Gre\;hound  have  weathered 
some  significant  changes.  While  the  College  has 
strived  to  maintain  and  improve  its  academic 
facilities,  with  the  building  of  the  DeChiaro  College 
Center  and  the  bolstering  of  the  departments  of 
Engineering  and  Business,  The  Greyhound  has 
endeavored  to  achieve  a new  level  of  journalistic 
professionalism. 

Admittedly,  mistakes  have  been  made.  Like  any 
publication.  The  Greyhound  is  managed  by  human 
beings,  and  human  beings  have  never  been  known 
for  their  infalliblity.  Despite  the  mistakes  and  occa- 
sional setbacks,  this  year’s  editorial  staff  came 
through,  and  produced  a newspaper  that  can 
speak  to,  and  for,  the  Evergreen  community  with 
simultaneous  pride  and  honesty. 

Last  May,  as  future  editor-in  chief,  David  Zeiler 
promised  aggressive  coverage  of  campus  news. 
This  goal  has  been  fulfilled.  The  Greyhound  has 
become  a genuine  forum  for  campus  events.  Not 
only  the  activities  of  the  students,  but  the  policies  of 
the  administration,  have  been  reported  on  with 
honesty  and  professionalism.  The  Greyhound  is 
now  a newspaper,  in  the  true  sense  of  the  word. 

Zeiler  called  the  campus  newspaper  a 
“watchdog,  an  instrument  for  keeping  students  in- 
formed about  who  is  doing  what  to  them  and  why.” 
This  will  continue.  A college  newspaper,  in  order 
to  properly  serve  students,  faculty,  and  administra- 
tion, must  offer  more  than  friendly  chatter. 

I joined  the  editorial  staff  of  The  Greyhound  this 
semester,  as  features  editor,  with  little  inkling  that 
the  responsibilities  of  editor-in-chief  would  even- 
tually be  mine.  This  year,  a standard  has  been  set, 
and  I am  well  aware  of  the  responsibility  I have  to 
uphold  that  standard.  The  “journalistic  excellence,” 
alluded  to  by  outgoing  editor,  David  Zeiler,  will 
continue  to  be  the  watchword  for  1984-85.

THE  GREYHOUND,  May  11,  1984 


Letters  to  the 

Defending  the  ads 


1 was  very  interested  in 
the  editorial  comments  and 
letter  appearing  in  the  April 
27th  and  May  4th  issues  of 
The  Gre{;hound  reacting  to 
Loyola’s  recent  radio  cam- 
paign to  enhance  student 
recruitment. 

Certainly,  it  is  unique  for 
a school  of  Loyola’s  quality 
to  aggressively  market 
itself.  I must  say,  however, 
that  Loyo’d  is  at  the 
forefrop'  of  many  of  our  na- 
tion’s top  independent  col- 
leges and  universities  that 
are  now  using  advertising 
(both  print  and  electronic 
media),  direct  response 
mail,  and  other  marketing 
tools  to  strengthen  their 
positions  in  the  educational 
marketplace. 

Any  marketing  student 
will  acknowledge  that 
advertising  is  essential  to 
maintain  a viable  business. 
Although  higher  education 


means  many  things  to  many 
people,  it  is,  in  a very  real 
sense,  a business.  In 
Loyola’s  case,  it  is  a $27 
million  a year  enterprise.  I 
am  convinced  that  the 
Loyola  radio  spots  were  very 
tastefully  produced  and 
have  done  much  to  give 
visibility  to  the  quality  and 
breadth  of  our  students  and 
curriculum.  The  need  for 
added  visibility  among 
potential  students  was 
borne  out  through  a com- 
prehensive public  opinion 
survey  commissioned  by  the 
College  in  1983. 

The  student  writers  to  The 
Greyhound  expressed  con- 
cern over  the  choice  of  the 
radio  stations  selected  to 
run  the  Loyola  spots.  Ob- 
viously, the  writers  were 
unaware  of  Arbitron 
statistics  which  show  that 
stations  WBSB  (B-104)  and 
WIYY  (98-ROCK)  dominate 


Lack  of  coverage 


As  a Loyola  graduate,  I 
was  somewhat  surprised 
and  disappointed  by  the  in- 
adequate coverage  in  last 
week’s  Greyhound  given  to 
Father  Sellinger’s  20th  an- 
niversary as  President  of 
Loyola  College. 

In  fact,  I thought  it  was 
downright  shameful  that 
the  Editors  chose  to  prac- 
tically ignore  this  story.  In 
his  twenty  years.  Father 
Selinger  has  certainly 
achieved  enough  to  merit 
coverage  and,  perhaps, 
congratulatory  acclaim 
from  the  student 
newspaper. 

Instead,  the  Editors 
decided  that  a headline  im 
plying  decreased  enrollment 


for  the  year  was  more  deser- 
ving of  the  front  page.  Or, 
perhaps  the  pastel  headline 
above  the  masthead,  adver- 
tising the  centerfold-feature 
on  a local  rock  group,  was 
more  noteworthy. 

I counted  five  CPS  (a  wire 
service)  articles  in  last 
week’s  addition  of  The 
Greyhound.  Rather  than  fill 
space  with  these  infor- 
mative but  dull  pieces,  an 
interview  with  Fr.  Sellinger 
or  an  expose  on  his  ac- 
complishments in  the  last 
two  decades  would  certainly 
have  been  more  ap- 
propriate. 

Where  was  Father  Sell- 
inger’s coverage  placed? 
His  story,  six  sentences  in 


A 4-1-4  update 


By  now.  I’m  sure  the  ma- 
jority of  students  have  had 
an  opportunity  to  read  the 
“Blast  from  the  Past’’ 
featured  in  the  April  27 
issue  of  The  Greyhound. 
Those  articles  all  exhibited 
student  angst  over  the  Ad- 
ministration’s attempts  at 
changing  our  current  4-1-4 
academic  system.  However, 
those  students  have  since 
graduated,  and  it  seems  to 
me,  Loyola  is  in  greater 
danger  of  losing  4-1-4  now 
than  before. 

The  underlying  reason  for 
this  sentiment  can  be  seen 
in  several  recent  articles  in 
The  Greyhound,  as  well  as 
recent  events  in  the  College 
community.  The  desire  for 
accreditation  has  driven  the 
School  of  Business  to  ar- 
bitrarily alter  its  students’ 
schedules,  making  the  In- 
ternational Business  course 
required  in  the  Junior  Year 
Jan  term;  and  the  Engineer- 
ing Department  now  has  the 
right  to  force  a course 
overload  on  majors  in  that 
area.  Granted,  accredita- 


tion is  necessary  for  the 
viability  of  these  majors  in 
the  job  market,  and  I do  not 
want  to  discuss  possible 
alternatives  for  keeping 
these  majors  in  the  4-1-4 
system  as  envisioned.  I do, 
however,  want  to  point  out 
some  facts  to  my 
classmates. 

First,  Jan  term  is  no 
longer  the  “social  semester” 
that  it  has  been  in  previous 
years.  Loyola  students  have 
changed,  and  one  sign  of 
that  change  is  an  increased 
interest  in  employment  op- 
portunities and  the 
possibilites  offered  by  a 
Loyola  degree.  Jan  term  has 
increasingly  become  a time 
to  gain  some  on  the  job  ex- 
perience through  intern- 
ships and  to  put  classroom 
theory  into  practice.  Those 
who  do  take  academic 
courses  usually  take  them 
within  their  major,  and  the 
unique  characteristics  of 
Jan  term  allow  for  an  in- 
depth  study  not  attainable 
in  the  normal  semester.

spots)  and  the  entire  Loyola 
administration  were  well 
aware  that  this  dynamic 
departure  from  past  student 
recruitment  strategy  .would 
draw  some  attention  and 
with  it  some  criticism.  The 
important  point  is  that,  as 
Mr.  Smith  stated,  “the  facts 
are  coming  across.”  These 
facts  about  Loyola’s 
academic  quality  and  the 
nature  of  its  student  body 
will  do  much  to  project 
Loyola,  in  a positive  way,  to 
prospective  students.

calendar,  the  costs  far 
outweigh  the  benefits.  The 
faculty  is  against  it  since 
they  would  have  to  pick  up 
an  additional  course 
without  a commensurate  in- 
crease in  pay.  Students 
should  be  against  it  for 
similar  reasons.  The 
workload  will  increase  addi- 
tional papers  will  have  to  be 
written,  and  more  tests  and 
quizzes  in  a wider  variety  of 
subjects-  will  have  to  be 
“crammed  for.”  Also,  there 
is  one  final  logistical  point 
that  should  send  5-5  down

everybody  has  experienced 
at  least  two  registration 
periods  and  the  attendant 
confusion.  Everyone  has 
been  frustrated  in  trying  to 
get  just  four  courses  for  a 
semester.  Is  the  Administra- 
tion naive  or  masochistic 
enough  to  try  to  have 
everybody  attempt  to 
register  for  5 courses?!  Get 
a grip,  we’re  not.

What  are  our  responsibilities? 


Many  of  us  have  experi- 
enced poverty.  Somehow  we 
have  adjusted  ourselves  to 
the  fact  that  many  must  suffer 
in  order  for  a small  minority  to 
live  with  an  overabundance  of 
the  world’s  resources.  This  is 
the  beginning  of  a very 
dangerous  adjustment  pro- 
cess, psychologically  and 
spiritually.  When  we  resign 
ourselves  to  the  fact  that  hun- 
dreds must  remain  homeless 
or  hungry,  we  lose  a part  of 
our  moral  and  spiritual  for- 
titude. The  Episcopal 
theologian,  William 
Stringfellow,  writes:  “America 
has  the  technical  capacity  to 
abolish  poverty.  The  question 
is  does  it  have  the  moral 
capability  to  do  so?”  A 
woman  working  with  the  poor 
once  said  to  me,  “Every time  I 
walk  by  a homeless  person,  I 
lose  a part  of  myself.” 
Somehow  we  regain  it.  Or  do 
we? 

We  make  these  ad- 
justments to  poverty  and 
other  social  evils  as  long  as 
they  remain  objects  for  in- 
tellectual study  and  observa- 
tion. Poverty  is  safe  from  a 
distance.  To  expect  any 
authentic  change  in  the  moral 
fiber  of  our  society,  without  a 
corresponding  change  in  our 
own  lives  is  unrealistic. 

Poverty  is  feared  because  it 
is  not  properly  understood. 
Destitution  should  not  be  held 
up  as  an  ideal  for  anyone  to 
live  by.  The  kind  of  poverty 


that  the  gospels  hold  up  as  a 
value  worth  imitating  involves 
non-attachment  to  things 
such  as:  success,  status, 
prestige,  wealth  and 
materialism.  In  our  society, 
there  is  an  enormous  amount 
of  pressure  placed  upon  these 
qualities  as  the  measure  of  in- 
dividual accomplishment. 
From  the  perspective  of  the 
gospels  and  the  early  Church 
Fathers,  a simple  lifestyle  is  an 
act  of  solidarity  and  justice  for 
the  poor.  When  we  are  free 
from  attachment  and  concern 
over  things,  we  will  be  more 
free  to  live  and  act  for  justice 
and  peace.  It  is  part  of  being 
faithful.  (Acts  4:32-36;  Matt. 

There  is  a tendency  in  this 
culture  to  render  human  life 
abstract.  Poor  people  become 
statistics,  the  unborn  become 
fetuses  and  the  victims  of  war 
are  unseen  and  unheard.  We 
can  see  some  of  this  abstrac- 
tion within  the  military. 

In  a documentary  film  en- 
titled, Nixon’s  Secret  Legacy, 
produced  by  the  BBC 
describing  the  development 
of  first-strike  nuclear  war 
strategy,  an  officer  is  asked 
his  feelings  about  the  danger 
of  hitting  civilians  during  a 
bombing  raid.  His  reply,  “In 
any  military  operation  there  is 
always  the  possibility  of  col- 
lateral damage.”  Collateral 
damage  being  a substitute  for 
human  life.  In  the  same  way, 
a nuclear  weapon  is  dubbed 
Peacekeeper,  rather  than  a 


weapon  of  mass  destruction. 
After  World  War  II,  our  War 
Department  became  the 
Department  of  Defense.  The 
former  name  was  more  in 
keeping  with  its  true  identity. 

Here  at  Loyola,  the  ROTC 
awards  scholarships  for  the 
study  of  war.  Cannot  a Jesuit, 
Catholic  college  with  a deep 
tradition  of  justice  and  peace 
offer  simfliar  sorts  of  scholar- 
ships for  our  students  to  study 
peace,  non-violence  and  the 
lives  of  Dr.  King,  Dorothy 
Day  and  others? 

The  most  recent  defense 
budgets  of  our  government 
have  been  the  largest  for  a 
peacetime  economy.  Most  of 
the  $5.1  billion  in  cuts  from 
federal  education  programs 
could  be  restored  by  cancel- 
ing the  B-1  Bomber  program, 
authorized  as  $4.9  billion  in 
FY  1983.  Cutting  out  $1 
billion  for  48  AH-64  attack 
helicopters,  with  a huge  cost 
over-run,  could  almost  save 
Title  I aid  for  poor  children 
from  a cut  of  $1.1  billion. 

Which  will  serve  our  long- 
term, authentic  security  in- 
terests better -an  investment 
in  education,  or  an  invest- 
ment in  more  destructive 
weapons? 

Many  of  these  questions 
concerning  war  and  peace 
reached  the  wider  community 
of  our  Catholic  Church  with 
the  issuance  of  the  American 
bishops’  Patoral  Letter  on 
War  and  Peace,  the  docu- 


Daniel Collins 


Variety  is  the  entree  of  life 


The  American  Way  - (the 
/Ah-meir-i-kan/way)  1:  pro- 
cess by  which  citizens  of  the 
United  States  dedicate  their 
lives  to  attaining  maximum 
success  in  a particular  field; 
2a:  the  desire  to  be  the  best  at 
some  mental  and/or  physical 
activity;  b:  (examples)  practic- 
ed by  Ronald  Reagan, 
Michael  Jackson  and  other 
famous  white  collar 
achievers. 

As  the  generations  tumble 
like  a row  of  clowns,  the  same 
philosophy  of  life  has  been 
passed  down  like  a bad  gene. 
Vince  Lombardi’s  “Winning  is 
everything”  ideal  is  jackham- 
mered  into  the  gray  matter  of 
little  5-year-olds  who  play 
“King  of  the  Hill”  and  develop 
ulcers  for  fear  of  muffing 
“oceanography”  in  the  spell- 
ing bee.  Shortly  after  the 
pituitary  gland  starts  secreting 
its  magic,  America’s  collective 
fathers  announce,  “No  matter 
what  you  do,  YOUR  NAME 
HERE,  make  sure  you’re  the 
best  at  something.”  Be  the 
number  one  shortstop,  doc- 
tor, lawyer.  Pier  One  Imports 
clerk.  Graduate  Mt.  Olympia 
University  the  animated  ar- 
chetype of  SOMETHING, 
ANYTHING.  Anything  to  rise 
up  from  the  gray  backdrop  of 
bus  fumes,  graffiti,  and  grimy 
buildings  to  gain  a bit  of  im- 
mortality, to  become  the 


prince  in  the  palace  wall  por- 
trait all  the  masses  revere. 
Synonym  for  The  American 
Way:  “the  quest  for  nobility.” 

Never  let  it  be  said, 
however,  that  Daniel  Collins 
opposed  the  pursuit  of 
dreams.  If  it  is  your  childhood 
goaf  to  be  Ernest  Hemingway 
reincarnated  or  Insurance 
Man,  take  your  shot.  If  you 
succeed,  phone  NBC,  they’ll 
do  a TV  movie  about  you. 
But  be  wise  enough  to 
recognize  whether  your  goal 
is  attainable  or  just  a pipe 
dream. 

Meet  Bill.  He’s  had  stories 
published  in  local  literary 
magazines,  he’s  got  a couple 
promising  screenplays  toasty 
warm  by  his  Smith-Corona. 
He  wants  to  be  Wonder 
Writer,  so  he  keeps  a daily 
journal  of  notes,  ideas, 
fragments  of  essays,  his  Cross 
pen  in  perpetual  motion.  But 
this  has  been  going  on  for  23 
years.  He  has  not  achieved 
fame,  no  publisher  has  pro- 
mised him  6-figure  royalty 
checks,  no  critic  has  dubbed 
him  another  Charles  Dickens, 
John  Steinbeck,  or  even 
Stephen  King.  Bill’s  still 
amongst  the  great  unwashed, 
staring  up  at  the  prince  in  the 
picture.  Now  what? 

You  don’t  mope  in  your 
melancholia.  Maybe  your 
novel  didn’t  knock  the  earth 


off  its  axis.  But  maybe  you 
have  the  imagination  and  in- 
sight to  be  a good  columnist 
or  feature  writer.  Then  there’s 
public  relations  and  advertis- 
ing. Try  them  all,  do  them  all. 
Anyone  with  enough  dedica- 
tion to  spend  a decade  or  two 
reaching  for  the  unreachable 
star  ought  to  be  one  heck  of  a 
journalist.  Often  the  would-be 
Hemingway  is  just  a guy  who 
got  an  A in  high  school 
creative  writing  who  wants  to 
see*  his  name  in  print.  Can 
you  cook?  Crank  out  a 
cookbook;  it  can  be  Julia 
Child-serious  or  perhaps  “172 
Ways  to  Make  a Bologna 
Sandwich.”  Be  creative.  Be- 
ing a jack-of-all-trades  can  be 
rewarding  and  certainly  less 
traumatic  than  busting  brain 
cells  in  a vain  effort  to  be  the 
God  of  Marketing  and 
Management. 

So  much  for  Bill.  But  what 
about  Tom?  Tom’s  single, 
ultimate  goal  is  merely  to  be 
the  Number  One  Insurance 
agent.  Tom  pushes  policies 
with  the  best  of  ’em  and 
Metropolitan  Life  gives  him 
the  “Super  Salesman  Award”. 
So  what.  You  coerced  23 
more  clods  into  insuring  their 
lawn  jockeys  and  mailboxes 
than  anyone  else.  What  else 
can  you  do?  Do  you  sing, 
play  chess,  calligraph?  Are 
you  an  authority  on  migrating 


ment  did  not  break  any  new 
qround  in  any  of  its  declara- 
tions against  the  arms  race 
and  nuclear  war.  Though  I 
am  grateful  for  their  state- 
ment, 1 believe  that  no  such 
letter  could  have  been 
published  without  the  inspira- 
tion and  witness  of  Popes 
John  XXIll  & Paul  VI, 
Dorothy  Day,  Frs.  Dan  & Phil 
Berrigan,  Martin  King  and 
many  others.  So,  when  Car- 
dinal Bernadin  rightly  con- 
nected the  issues  of  capital 
punishment,  abortion  and 
nuclear  war,  he  too  was  not 
breaking  any  new  ground.  He 
was  merely  echoing  the 
biblical  vision  of  justice  and 
peace. 

All  of  these  historical  events 
are  an  indication  of  the 
richness  of  our  Catholic 
heritage,  rooted  in  our 
liturgical,  sacramental  and 
prayer  life  as  a community. 
The  Church  can  and  does  of- 
fer sustenance  and  inspiration 
through  its  liturgical  and 
sacramental  life,  but  only  if 
we  do  not  allow  our  faith, 
rituals  and  the  issue  of  salva- 
tion to  become  privatized. 
The  biblical  view  of  faith  calls 
us  to  a faith  focused  on  justice 
to  the  victims -the  unborn, 
the  hungry,  the  sister  or 
brother  on  death  row,  the 
homeless  of  the  refugee. 

The  Church  cannot  be 
neutral  in  the  struggle  for 
justice.  It  must  and  can  be 
found  on  the  side  of  the  poor. 


birds?  Do  you  know  how  to 
win  an  argument,  do  you  play 
the  saxophone?  The  in- 
imitable insurance  salesman 
or  the  perfect  parchesi  player 
is  still  as  flat  as  month-old 
Pepsi.  Maybe  you  can’t  cut 
the  Brando  role.  But  if  you  try 
to  be  good  at  as  many  things 
as  possible,  you  might  rank

You  want  to  know  how  to

better  than  a fruit-and-jello? 
Park  Pragmatism,  don’t  think 
about  Descartes  - take  Kant’s 
advice  and  toss  your 
philosophy  books  (along  with 
Kant’s  tribute  to  verbosity)  in- 
to the  fire.  Listen  to  Chuck 
Thompson  instead.  “If  you 
want  to  make  it  in  baseball 
(Life),  learn  as  many  posi- 
tions as  you  can.  Catch,  play 
third,  and  switch  hit.  Don’t  be 
a one-dimensional  player.” 

Amidst  the  simple  syrup  of 
“Richie  Dauer  as  a goll-dam 
good  ball  player,”  the  bald 
man  in  the  checkered-plaid 
caps  does  make  the  occa- 
sional salient  remark.  Don’t 
be  a one-dimensional  person. 
If  you  have  the  talent  to  be 
the  best  whatever  in  the 
world,  be  it.  Unfortunately, 
few  of  us  have  enough  ability 
and  desire  to  attain  Nirvana. 
Most  of  us  are  down  here 
dodging  holy  cow  deposits, 
necks  aching  from  gazing  up 


Biblically  understood,  God  is 
neutral  in  these  matters.  God 
sides  with  the  poor  and  the 
victim,  and  acts  through  us  to 
establish  justice  and  peace. 

It  should  come  as  no  sur- 
prise that  some  of  the  most 
powerful  messages  concern- 
ing justice  and  peace  have 
come  from  religious  com- 
munities and  individuals. 
Consider  the  following;  Pope 
John  XXllI  encyclicals; 
Pacem  in  Terris,  Christianity 
& Social  Progress;  Martin 
King:  Letter  from  Birm- 
ingham Jail. 

This  prophetic  role  of  the 
church  is  sometimes  watered 
down  or  compromised  by  its 
close  association  with  the 
state.  As  a Catholic,  I was 
reared  to  believe  that  the 
Church  could  be  both  state 
and  religion,  it  could  act  as 
king  and  prophet.  Columnist 
and  teacher,  Garry  Wills  (a 
Catholic)  writes,  “...  the  king- 
ly role  has  constantly  weak- 
ened the  far  more  important 
prophetic  role.  The  gospel 
message  issued  from  the  cross 
comes  muffled  from  a 
throne.” 

The  Church  has  given  us 
many  great  men  and  women 
as  role  models  for  our  young 
people  and  ourselves.  For 
them  and  all  those  that  have 
remained  faithful  in  their  liv- 
ing out  the  gospel  and  the 
best  aspects  of  our  Catholic 
heritage,  I give  thanks. 


at  the  nobleman  in  the  pic- 
ture. 

The  quest  for  nobility  is 
stupid!  Even  if  you  do  achieve 
gold  medal  status,  you  usual- 
ly get  heart  disease  and  a bad 
liver  doing  it.  People  respect 
you,  but  no  one  likes  you. 
Everyone  cheers  the  under- 
dog. The  17-year-old  who 
emerges  from  the  abyss  to 
score  ah  incredible  69  in  the 
Generic  Golf  Classic  is  adored 
by  all.  Arnold  Palmer  and 
Jack  Nicklaus  are  loved  more 
now  that  their  careers  are 
fading.  Someone 

is  always  looking  to  boot  you 
off  the  pedastal,  even  if  you’re 
only  the  best  marbleshooter 
on  block. 

Being  good  at  covering 
fires,  typing  up  horse  races, 
and  editing  copy  instead  of 
trying  for  excellence  at  novel- 
writing alone  is  not  the  pro- 
verbial piece  o’  cake.  Ifs  hard 
work  to  be  considered  just 
good  nowadays.  Don’t  think  it 
won’t  be  challenging.  Being 
the  most  well-rounded  and 
diversified  person  you  can 
possibly  be  is  a 24-hour-a-day 
job. 

Bottom  line?  It  is  better  to 
be  good  at  five  (ten,  fifteen, 
ad  infinitum)  things  than  to  be 
second-to-none  at  one.

THE  GREYHOUND.  May  11,  1984 


John  Morgan:  Liberty  or  Death 

A commencement  address 


So  we  have  arrived.  The 
class  of  ’84  is  at  last  looking 
forward  to  the  actual  day 
when,  clothed  in  ritual,  tradi- 
tion and  ceremony,  they  will 
take  that  last,  long  walk  to  ob- 
tain their  degiees.  I,  of 
course,  was  not  asked  to 
speak  at  graduation. 
Therefore,  1 thought  it  might 
be  nice  to  come  up  with  some 
appropriate  words  here,  in 
this  last  “Liberty  or  Death”  I 
shall  write  for  the  Greyhound 
(Don’t  cheer  too  loud) . 

Graduation  speakers 
generally  choose  two  main 
themes.  At  my  brother’s 
graduation  from  Towson 
State  (an  interminable  occa- 
sion) , the  President  of  the  col- 
lege told  all  the  graduates  an 
anecdote.  “There  were  two 
guys,  Tom  and  Bill,”  he 
began.  “They  graduated  and, 
afterward,  promised  each 
other  that  they  would  meet 
again  in  25  years.  Tom,  being 


somewhat  of  a dreamer,  said 
that  they  should  meet  for 
lunch  at  the  ‘old  college 
hangout,’  a rathskellar  that 
they  had  spent  so  much  time 
in  during  their  college  years. 

“Well,  it  was  decided  and, 
after  25  years  had  gone  by. 
Bill  had  a wife,  a good  job, 
and  two  kids.  On  the  ap- 
pointed day.  Bill  happened 
across  an  old  slip  of  paper. 
On  it,  the  words  read,  ‘Meet 
Tom  at  Rathskellar  for  lunch 
on  May  31,  2009.’  Bill 
thought  he’d  try  to  see  Tom, 
even  though  it  was  a long 
shot  that  Tom  would 
remember. 

“He  went  down  to  the 
Rathskellar  and,  behold, 
there  sat  Tom.  They  greeted 
each  other  and  Bill,  in  a 
curious  tone,  asked,  ‘How  did 
you  remember?’  Tom  said 
that  he  didn’t  remember.  Bill, 
puzzled,  asked,  ‘Where  have 
you  been  all  these  years?’ 


Tom  looked  up  from  his  drink 
and  said,  ‘Here.’” 

That  was  the  Presidenfs 
story.  A moral  lesion  telling 
us  that  we’ll  all  end  up  like 
Tom  if  we  don’t  work  and  get 
a wife  like  Bill.  I was 
understandably  displeased. 
Ifs  a nice  little  story,  but  ifs 
trite  and  nobody  wants  to 
hear  about  the  work  ethic 
while  they’re  celebrating 
graduation. 

The  second  theme  I 
remember  hearing  at  gradua- 
tion ceremonies  was  that  of 
nostalgia.  A tear-filled 
speaker  gets  up  and  delivers  a 
speech  during  which  he  says, 
“Fll  never  forget  you”  a million 
times.  After  relating  how 
great  those  old  times  at 
Loyola  College  were  and  how 
ifs  really  too  bad  that  we’ve  all 
got  to  to  go  our  separate  ways 
and  how  we  really  knew  that 
when  we  complained  so 
much  about  our  college  we 


were  only  kidding,  next  thing 
you  know,  the  man  is  slobber- 
ing over  his  papers  and  shuffl- 
ing about  and  they  have  to 
escort  him  away  from  the 
stage.  Thafs  no  fun. 

Well,  I figured  I could  do 
no  better.  I played  with  the 
thought  that  1 should  say  how 
I really  did  mean  all  those 
awful  things  I wrote  about  the 
administration.  But  thafs  not 
helpful.  The  problem  is,  one 
feels  that,  at  this  time 
especially,  it  is  necessary  to 
say  something  meaningful. 
We  have  been  plied  with  four 
years  of  knowledge  and 
enlightenment,  we  are  about 
to  head  out  into  the  “real 
world,”  and,  as  with  all 
endings,  we  feel  we  should  be 
cast  off  into  our  new  beginn- 
ing with  grand  phrases  and 
eloquent  soliloquies. 

However,  the  true  message 
of  graduation  lies  not  in  what 
will  be  said  at  Commence- 


ment, but  in  what  has  already 
been  said  in  the  classroom. 
The  enlightenment  lies  in  the 
demanding  Rozics,  compas- 
sionate McCormick,  revolu- 
tionary Guroian,  or  crusty 
McCormack.  We  should  not 
necessarily  look  forward  to 
this  time,  because  we  have 
been  doing  so  for  many 
years.  Instead,  it  is  time  to 
look  back  and  appreciate  the 
fact  that,  for  billions  of  peo- 
ple, there  is  no  such  thing  as 
learning  or  discovery  or  op- 
portunity. We  are  fortunate. 
We  have  the  tools  to  under- 
stand our  world  as  being 
more  than  a savage,  subsis- 
tent  jungle.  The  grandeur  of 
the  universe  is  not  only  before 
us,  it  is  within  us,  ours  to 
have,  to  hang  onto,  to  believe 
in,  and  to  improve.  God  be 
with  you.  Thank  you  and 
goodbye.

Farewell,  Greyhound:  Parting  is  such  sweet  sorrow 


Ifs  over.  With  this  issue, 
my  tenure  as  editor-in-chief  of 
The  Greyhound  ends.  To  say 
the  least.  Volume  57  of  The 
Greyhound  has  been  one  hell 
of  a rollercoaster  ride  for  me, 
my  staff  and  for  several  key 
segments  of  the  college  com- 
munity. 

Last  May,  I promised  the 
students  of  Loyola  College  a 
better-looking,  aggressive, 
virtually  fearless 

newspaper  - and  1 hope  thafs 
how  this  year’s  version  of  The 
Greyhound  was  perceived. 

Despite  our  reduced 
budget,  we  increased  the 
average  size  of  the  paper  from 
12-16  pages  to  16-20  pages. 
We  also  implemented  the  use 
of  color,  which  has  vastly  im- 
proved the  appearance  of  the 
paper.  Yet  with  ail  of  the  im- 
provements, we  still  ended 
the  year  with  a small  surplus. 

We  tried  not  only  to  make 
The  Greyhound  more  visually 
appealing,  but  we  also  strove 
to  make  it  a legitimate  jour- 
nalistic entity.  In  doing  so  we 
may  have  crushed  a few  toes, 
but  I think  our  effort  was 
worthwhile.  The  news  sec- 
tion, under  Linda  J.  Hallmen 
(whom  you’ll  read  more 
about  later)  provided  the 
most  informative,  dauntless 
news  coverage  in  the  paper’s 
history.  We  hope  that  this  will 
become  a tradition  rather 
than  a fluke. 

Whenever  a major  issue 
appeared,  we  dealt  with  it  as 
thoroughly  as  possible.  The 
merit  pay  issue,  which  many 
of  you  thought  irrelevant  and 
stupid,  actually  had  several 
members  of  the  faculty  on  the 
verge  of  resigning.  When  an 
issue  elicits  such  a reaction  of 
that  magnitude,  I think 
students  should  be  at  least 
slightly  concerned  about  it.  In 
any  event,  issues  like  merit 
pay,  which  a student 


newspaper  must  address 
squarely  if  it  is  to  fulfill  its 
function  as  the  eyes,  ears  and 
even  the  political  bodyguard 
of  the  students,  can  never  af- 
ford lackadaisical  treatment. 
Whether  or  not  the  students 
realize  it.  Greyhound 
coverage  of  these  more 
college-centered  issues  is  for 
their  own  good. 

In  our  zeal  to  produce  a 
first-rate  newspaper,  we  may 
have  occasionally  over- 
stepped the  boundaries  of 
propriety.  This  is  an  unfor- 
tunate but  inevitable  fact  of 
what  happens  when  one  tries 
to  attain  the  highest  levels  of 
achievement-  sometimes 
you  just  go  too  far.  Still,  I am 
convinced  that  a newspaper 
sometimes  has  to  take  risks  to 
be  worthwhile.  Complacency 
may  be  safe,  but  it  can  also  be 
excruciatingly  dull.  I am 
proud  that  The  Greyhound, 
while  frequently  controver- 
sial, was  anything  but  dull. 

Many  have  disagreed  with 
the  content  of  both  the  news 
and  features  sections,  but 
what  would  they  have  us 
write  about?  When  asked  this 
question  most  critics  fall 
silent.  After  all,  we  are  not  the 
Sunpapers.  We  do  not  have 
great  resources.  We  can  only 
cover  what  happens  at 
Loyola  College,  and  I believe 
we  have  done  this  more  than 
adequately.  If  you  think  about 
it,  you’ll  probably  arrive  at  the 
conclusion  that  The 
Greyhound  covered  as  much 
news  as  was  worth  printing. 

The  features  section  con- 
tained a solid  mix  of  arts  and 
entertainment  articles  as  well 
as  Loyola-based  articles  on 
both  people  and  events.  The 
features  section  would  greatly 
benefit  in  future  years  if  in- 
dividual students  would  ap- 
proach the  paper  with 
college-oriented  feature  arti- 


cle ideas  (trips  they’ve  taken, 
unusual  events  they  know 
about,  etc.),  much  as  faculty 
members  do  when  they  write 
books  on  otherwise  earn 
notoriety. 

The  editorial  section  has 
been  especially  gratifying  to 
me  this  year,  as  various  cam- 
pus issues  sparked  a healthy 
variety  of  pro  and  con  opi- 
nions expressed  in  our  letters 
to  the  editor.  To  me,  this  is  a 
crucial  function  of  a college 
student  newspaper- to  raise 
and  provide  a forum  for  the 
discussion  of  issues  that  con- 
cern not  only  the  college,  but 
our  nation  and  even  the 
world.  That,  after  all,  is  what 
a college  is  supposed  to  pro- 
mote. 

As  a whole  I think  that  The 
Greyhound  has  been  as  good 
as  it  could  be.  We  suffered 
through  far  too  many  crises:  a 
balky  typesetting  machine,  a 
poorly  timed  snowstorm,  staff 
upheaval  (both  the  sports  and 
features  editors  changed  be- 
tween semesters)  and  hun- 
dreds of  smaller  things.  That 
the  paper  appears  as  con- 
sistently as  it  does  is  a tribute 
to  the  staff  of  student 
volunteers  who  put  it  together 
every  week. 

Before  1 mention  any 
names,  I would  like  to  note 
that  each  of  the  editors 
spends  between  35-45  hours 
per  week  working  on  The 
Greyhound . Other  than 
writing  and  editing,  each 
editor  must  lay  out  his/her 
own  section  on  Thursday 
night,  which  usually  does  not 
end  until  five  or  sbc  A.M.  Fri- 
day morning. 

Graduating  with  me  are 
News  Editor  Linda  Joy 
Hallmen,  Editorial  Page 
Editor  Liz  Healey  and 
Photography  Editor  Celia 
Cortada.  Linda,  otherwise 
known  as  Zinda,  has  been 


literally  indispensable  to  the 
paper  this  year.  As  the  only 
other  member  of  the  staff 
other  than  mayself  with  a full 
year  of  Greyhound  ex- 
perience as  of  September 
1983,  Zinda  helped  me  lay 
the  groundwork  for  this  year’s 
changes  last  summer.  She’s 
probably  the  best  damn  news 
editor  this  newspaper  has 
ever  seen,  and  I can  only 
hope  that  more  of  her  ilk 
assume  the  job  in  the  future. 
As  an  editor,  consultant,  co- 
worker and  friend,  you  can’t 
get  any  better  than  Zin. 

Editorial  Page  Editor  Liz 
Healey  efficiently  assembled 
her  two  or  three  page  section 
with  nary  a whimper.  Her 
blunt  wit  (“We’re  up  that 
famous  estuary  without  a 
means  of  propulsion,  folks”) 
and  Mexican  centerfolds  with 
orange  lizards  will  be  sorely 
missed . 

Photography  Editor  Celia 
Cortada,  along  with  sister 
Talia  and  pal  Donald  Dokas 
snapped  most  of  the  photos 
that  illustrated  yOur  news. 
Despite  a darkroom  that  can 
only  be  used  at  night  because 
of  light  leaks,  Celia  managed 
to  supply  us  with  most  of  the 
pictures  we  needed. 

Leaving  The  Greyhound  to 
pursue  other  interests  (like  in- 
ternships) next  year.  Sports 
Editor  Peg  Culotta  often  had 
to  cut  valued  statistics  or  other 
essential  data  because  too 
many  ads  had  been  placed  on 
her  pages.  We  know  that  Peg 
will  be  much  happier  to  sleep 
on  Thursday  nights  next  year. 

The  charges  to  whom  we 
leave  The  Greyhound  are 
able  and  willing.  Sue  Win- 
church,  the  present  features 
editor,  will  succeed  me  as 
editor-in-chief.  Although  she 
has  only  one  semester  of 
Greyhound  experience,  she 
has  learned  quickly  and 


should  prove  an  effective 
“chief.” 

Colleen  Lilly,  also  known 
as  “Peon,”  has  been  in  train- 
ing for  most  of  this  year  and 
should  uphold  the  lofty  jour- 
nalistic standards  that  Zinda 
established  when  she 
assumes  the  post  of  news 
editor  in  the  fall. 

Tina  Carignano,  a relative- 
ly recent  recruit,  will  take  over 
the  features  section  next  year, 
and  Jim  Vitrano  will  be  the 
new  editorial  page  editor.  The 
business/ad  department  will 
benefit  from  the  skills  of  Terri 
Ciofalo  next  year  and  may  or 
may  not  include  that  dynamo 
Diana  Meushaw.  Di’s  ag- 
gressive approach  to  her  job 
in  the  fall  built  up  the  large 
stable  of  advertisers  that 
allowed  The  Greyhound  to 
operate  in  the  black  this  year. 
Her  plans  for  the  future  are 
muddy,  but  we  hope  she  will 
be  able  to  return  in  some 
capacity  next  year. 

As  I conclude  my  final  arti- 
cle for  The  Greyhound,  1 ex- 
press the  hope  that  I gave  as 
much  to  this  thing  as  I got  out 
of  it.  Having  a weekly  outlet 
for  the  rock  topic  of  my 
choice  is  not  a luxury  I shall 
be  likely  to  enjoy  for  some 
time -if  ever.  I suppose  I 
don’t  even  have  to  say  that  Fll 
miss  the  countless  hours 
spent  agonizing  over  The 
Greyhound , but  1 did 
anyway.  Ifs  true. 

If  I have  done  my  job  well, 
then  I have  created  a founda- 
tion upon  which  future  editors 
can  build.  I know  that  1 owed 
my  immediate  predecessors  a 
debt  in  that  I inherited  an 
already  fine  product  and  suffi- 
cient resources  with  which  to 
improve  it  further.  In  1984, 
the  future  of  the  paper  looks 
good. 

And,  by  the  way.  The 
Greyhound  still  regrets 
nothing.

Guarino  sets 
sight  on  Olympics 


Guarino  exhibits  his  award  winning  form. 


Washington  and  Lee 
Wahoos  watch  out! 

by  Robert  DeSantis 


by  Kate  Naughten 


He’s  the  kingpin  of 
Maryland  weightlifting. 
Loyola  sophomore  Tim 
Guarino  won  the  Best 
Teenage  Lifter  in  Maryland  as 
well  as  best  lifter  in 
Heavyweight  Males  Division. 

“I  felt  like  I walked  away 
with  everything,”  Guarino 
said  with  a shy  smile. 

“I  set  goals.  A lot  of  short 
ones  and  those  have  led  up  to 
the  big  ones,”  said  Guarino, 
who  has  been  nationally 
ranked  since  he  first  began 
competing  as  a weight-lifter 
six  years  ago. 

His  latest  accomplishments 
include  a silver  medal  in  the 
1983  Junior  Olympics,  as 
weU  as  two  silver  and  two 
bronze  medals  in  the  Junior 
Nationals,  held  in  April  of 
1984.  His  aspirations  include 
Olympic  competition  in  1988 
and  ’92,  and  eventually  world 
competition. 

Guarino  began  lifting 
weights  with  his  friends  and  as 
he  progressed,  he  saw  it  “as  a 
long  term  benefit  for  his 
health  as  well  as  a goal- 
oriented  sport.” 

Following  the  universally 
accepted  system  of  training 
three  days  a week  for  an  hour 
and  a half  each  day,  Guarino 
has  trained  without  a coach 
for  most  of  his  sb<  year  career. 
“I’ve  had  coaches,  but 
weightlifting  is  not  a widely 
recognized  sport  in  this  coun- 
try, therefore  there  aren’t  that 
many  people  who  coach,”  he 
said. 


At  5 feet  10  inches  and  181 
pounds,  Guarino  competes  in 
the  181  pound  class  for  lifters 
under  20  years  old.  He  is  still 
eligible  as  a teenager  because 
of  a late  birthday. 

The  snatch  and  the  clean 
and  jerk  are  the  two  lifts  he 
performs  in  competition. 
“Weightlifting  is  technique 
whereas  powerlifting  is  just  a 
movement,”  he  explained. 
Guarino  lifts  in  the  253  pound 
range  for  the  snatch,  which 
challenges  him  to  lift  the 
weight  from  the  floor,  over  his 
head  in  one  motion.  The 
clean  and  jerk  is  a lift  where 
the  bar  is  brought  up  to  the 
chest  from  the  floor  and  then 
thrust  overhead.  He  lifts  in 
the  320  pound  range  for  this 
competition. 

Finances  are  a major  con- 
cern for  Guarino,  who  spends 
between  $500  and  $1,000 
traveling  in  between  competi- 
tions during  the  year.  He  has 
been  invitied  to  the  Olympic 
Training  program  in  Col- 
orado, but  has  been  unable  to 
attend  so  far  because  of  the 
expense.  Also,  he  has 
qualified  for  the  Junior  Na- 
tionals three  times  and  has 
only  gone  once,  because  of 
traveling  expenses. 

Guarino  is  not  short  on 
motivation  though,  despite 
his  limited  resources.  He  said, 
“Staying  healthy  and 
physically  fit  are  two  of  the 
main  reasons  I love  to  lift.  1 
always  set  gaols,  and  so  far 
I’ve  been  able  to  achieve 
them.” 


The  'Hounds  won  their 
fourth  game  in  a row  last 
Saturday  when  they  defeated 
Washington  and  Lee,  and 
now  only  one  game  stands 
between  the  Loyola  laxmen 
and  a possible  NCAA  Tour- 
nament bid. 

The  lackadaisical  first  half 
left  the  fans  at  Lexington 
longing  for  more  as  the  score 
read  3-3  at  halftime.  In  the 
third  period,  however,  the 
pace  picked  up. 

The  Generals’  defense 
came  undone  in  the  second 
half  as  the  Greyhounds  add- 
ed 3 goals  in  the  3rd,  and 
held  W & L to  one.  In  the  first 
period,  Loyola  stickmen 
threw  in  six  more,  enough  to 
hold  off  a 4-goal  General  at- 


tack, and  coast  to  a 12-8  vic- 
tory. 

Goalie  Vinnie  Pfeifer  had 
another  great  day  in  the  goal 
as  he  registered  23  saves.  Pat 
Lamon  led  the  Loyola  scoring 
drive  with  6 goals  and  2 
assists.  Other  scorers  included 
John  Carroll  and  Chris 
Gaeng,  with  2 goals  and  1 
assist  each.  Dave  Kasemeyer 
and  Butch  Conner  added  1 a 
piece. 

Coach  Cottle  remarked 
that  exceptional  games  were 
turned  in  by  midfielders  Chris 
Bullen  and  Conner.  He  add- 
ed that  defenseman  Jeff 
Bozel  also  played  excep- 
tionally well,  holding  W & L’s 
leading  scorer  to  1 goal  and  2 
assists. 

In  their  last  game  of  the 


Waylaid, 


season,  the  ’Hounds  face  off 
against  the  Virginia  Cavaliers 
at  Scott  Stadium  this  Satur- 
day. Although  the  'Hounds 
go  in  as  the  underdogs,  if 
their  play  is  up  to  their  season 
par,  the  Wahoos  may  be 
waylaid. 

Coach  Cottle  commented 
that  the  '84  Loyola  Lacrosse 
team  has  been  one  of  the 
most  successful  in  the  school's 
history,  and  the  current  lax- 
men  have  had  more  Division  I 
wins  than  any  other  Loyola 
lacrosse  squad.  He  added 
that  a victory  over  U.  Va. 
could  give  the  Greyhounds  a 
berth  in  the  NCAA  Tourna- 
ment.

Ladies  looted  by  Lehigh,  lose  tourney  hopes 


Loyola  and  Lehigh  battle  for  possession. 


by  Kate  Naughten 

“The  whole  school  should 
be  proud  of  the  high  level  of 
character,  quality  of  play  and 
the  kind  of  all  out  grit 
displayed  by  the  Loyola 
Women’s  Lacrosse  team  in 
their  battle  against  Lehigh  on 
Wednesday  afternoon,”  said 
head  coach  Anne  Mc- 
Closkey. 

“As  bitter  as  I am  about  the 


Lehigh  game,  if  I put  the 
whole  season  in  perspective, 
it  was  an  outstanding  one,” 
continued  McCloskey. 

Losing  a controversial 
11-10  sudden  death  overtime 
decision  to  a wreckless 
Lehigh  squad,  the  general 
consensus  of  Loyola  players 
and  spectators  was  that 
Loyola  had  been  “robbed”  of 
a hard  earned  victory  at  the 


In  semi-final  softball  action, 
the  Port  City  Pokers  and  the 
New  Barbarians  advanced  to 
the  finals  of  the  Intramural 
Softball  Championship 

The  Pokers  were  the  worst 
thing  to  hit  the  Beerhunters 
since  prohibition,  as  they 
destroyed  the  previously 
undefeated  team,  25-1.  The 
Pokers  were  led  by  “Big  Dad- 
dy” Lesko’s  two  hit  pitching, 
and  “Boog”  Bozels’  tape- 
measure  homerun  in  the  first 
inning  and  “Doc”  Lazzati’s  five 
for  five  evening  with  seven 
RBls. 

The  impressive  Pokers  will 
meet  the  upstart  New  Bar- 
barians, who  knocked  off  the 
Fury  4-0.  The  Pokers  have 
made  the  championship  final 
for  two  consecutive  years. 


“Probably  our  best  victory 
of  the  season!”  So  speaks 
Rusty  Phelps  of  the  Loyola 
Men’s  Tennis  Team,  as  they 
won  their  last  match  by  shut- 
ting out  UMBC,  9-0. 

The  team  hoped  to  win  the 
match  as  a farewell  gift  for 
senior  John  Ghiardi.  “Jim 
Brown  and  Phelps  both 
agreed  that  it  was  too  bad  we 
ended  our  season  at  8-9, 
especially  after  losing  to 
Johns  Hopkins.” 


Baltimore,  MD...  Loyola 
College  Athletic  Director  Tom 
O’Connor  announced  today 
that  the  1985  ECAC  Metro 
Conference  Basketball  Tour- 
nament will  take  place  at 
Loyola’s  new  Reitz  Arena  on 
Saturday,  Sunday  and  Mon- 
day, March  2,  3,  4,  1985. 

The  eight  team  tournament 
will  tip-off  on  Saturday  with 
four  quarterfinal  games 
scheduled  for  1:00,  3:00, 
6:00  and  8:00  pm.  Sunday’s 
semi-final  action  will  get 
underway  at  6:00  and  8:00 
pm,  while  Monday  evening’s 
conference  championship 
contest  is  set  for  8:00  pm. 
The  winner  of  the  tournament 
will  then  advance  to  the  1985 
NCAA  Division  1 Basketball 
Tournament. 

G reyhound  head  soc- 
cer coach  Bill  Sento  has 
named  senior  Darrell  Helm 
(Baltimore,  MD),  senior  Tom 
Rafferty  (Freehold,  NJ)  and 
junior  Peter  Vinton  (Little 
Fall,  NJ)  tri-captains  of  the 
1984  soccer  squad. 

Sento  and  his  Greyhound 
squad,  who  are  coming  off  of 
an  outstanding  17-3  season, 
will  kick-off  their  1984  cam- 
paign on  Saturday, 
September  1st  against  the 
University  of  Akron  in  Akron, 
Ohio. 


hands  of  three  Division  1 
women’s  lacrosse  officials. 

Loyola  drew  first  blood  at 
2:42  into  the  first  half  on  an 
unassisted  goal  by  Andi 
Holthaus.  Lehigh  answered 
one  minute  later.  This  was 
followed  by  the  first  of  Missy 
Lightner’s  five  goals,  this  one 
assisted  by  Rita  Ciletti. 

Lehigh  came  back  to  strike 
three  times,  raising  the  score 
to  4-2.  Lehigh  was  well 
assisted  by  numerous  quick 
yellow  flags  thrown  by  the 
refs. 

Ciletti  tallied  next  for 
Loyola  on  an  unassisted  play. 
Lehigh  answered  with 
another  goal,  but  at  3:52 
Loyola  attacked  with  a 
vengeance.  A lightning  bolt 
score  from  Lightner  brought 
Loyola  within  one,  and  two 
goals  straight  off  the  draw 
from  Anne  Allen  allowed 
Loyola  a slim  one  goal  lead  at 
halftime,  6-5. 

High  scorer  Missy  Lightner 
charged  out  of  halftime  to  tal- 
ly two  quick  goals.  Both 
teams  scored  again,  but 
Loyola  could  not  hold  onto 
three  goal  lead,  and  Lehigh 
tried  the  game  with  three 
goals  in  a 14  minute  span. 

Both  teams  traded  goals  in 
the  first  three  minutes  of  a six 
minute  regulation  overtime. 
But,  the  Lehigh  goal  will  re- 
main in  infancy  as  “the  goal 


that  never  was,”  because  as 
far  as  everyone  on  the  field, 
except  for  referee  Jackie 
Huffnell,  was  concerned,  it  hit 
the  pipe,  not  the  net. 

Alas,  the  game  entered 
sudden  death  overtime  and 
Lehigh  scored  1:18  into  the 
period  and  walked  away  with 
a game  that  belonged  to 
Loyola. 

“It  seemed  that  those  refs 
walked  onto  the  field  deter- 
mined to  do  everything  in 
their  power  to  foil  a win  by  us. 
From  the  very  first  whistle  it 
was  evident,  and  Jackie  Huff- 
nell’s  call,  giving  Lehigh  the 


tying  goal,  did  us  in,”  said  Mc- 
Closkey. 

“I  don’t  know  how  those 
refs  can  sleep  at  night  after 
the  calls  they  made” 
screamed  a die-hard 
Greyhound  fan,  echoing  the 
sentiment  of  the  entire  Loyola 
audience. 

“A  team  should  expect  a 
few  hard  knocks  in  Division  1 
play,  but  the  Lady 
Greyhounds  should  be  play- 
ing against  Maryland  on 
Saturday. . .instead  of 
Lehigh,”  said  Junior  Julie 
Lind  with  indignation. 


Lady  Greyhounds  chase  victory  in  vain.
